How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, read over application and research, school website.

What impressed you positively?

The students there were VERY down to earth. The facilities seemed really nice. I was glad that other students (undergrads) would be on campus (my college had 25K students, so it was nice to see some people).

What impressed you negatively?

The library was closed, but they said it was very small (but everything is on electronic journal). I come from a big city, so the area was pretty rural for me.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How nice the area around the school is. And how comepletely cheap the cost of living is.

What are your general comments?

I think overall the day went very well. There seemed to be a lot of sitting around, but there was almost a 1-1 ratio of med school students to interviewees, so you got LOTS of questions answered. The interview was VERY conversational, while at the same time providing me a chance to let them know me and why I want to be a doctor. I think everything went well because I got in a few weeks later.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
