How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Went through the StudentDoctor.net questions, talked with friends who had already interviewed, reviewed my high school & college activities/SAT scores/HS GPA (none of these were ever discussed)

What impressed you positively?

The admissions committee members that we met were very friendly and helped me relax.

What impressed you negatively?

In the interview, I would have liked to have had the opportunity to talk about my interest in medicine more (as opposed to my background in public health).

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

The interview was relatively fast-paced. One interviewer asked the majority of the questions, with the other interjecting every now and then. Even though they were asking tough questions, both interviewers were friendly and laid-back.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
