What are your general comments?
i felt like i got a very good comprehensive impression of the school. their admissions committee did a pretty good job presenting the school to us
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
where do you see yourself in ten years
What was the most interesting question?
nothing all that out of the ordinary. my two interviews were pretty basic questions, but some other students had some really abstract philosophical questions (like "define the color blue", or "how do you situate yourself in life"....etc)
How did you prepare for the interview?
sdn, website
What impressed you positively?
they are very responsive to student feedback apparently, and all the students raved about the admins
What impressed you negatively?
1) its the most expensive school in the country apparently
2) their md/mph program is crammed into four years, which for some people may be good, but for me is rather disturbing as i think that it will probably diminish the quality of each degree. i asked the director of the program about this, and his answer was "yes, i think that the quality of each degree suffers a bit....moreso with the MPH."
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
there is no student housing. well, they have one dorm, but apparently only 20 or 30 students live there.
