✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

I knew that it was closed file so I wrote up what I wanted to tell about myself which helped me say all I wanted to say about myself.

What impressed you positively?

The U of A medical center is very large, so great opportunities for an undergraduate medical education.

What impressed you negatively?

I have been to other interviews and this is the first that made a big deal about not seeing the anatomy lab because the faculty didn't want prospective students to see it, it has NOTHING to do with HIPPA, makes me uneasy about working with such faculty as a student.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing.

What are your general comments?

At the school I thought it was great how quick the day went and compact they made everything. They provided all the material needed for any questions you might have. My interview with the U of A Dr. was 30 minutes and conversational. My community interview was over an hour and was great, I like the opportunity the school provides to sit down with a practicing physician and ask questions. Overall, it was a very positive interviewing process.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
