✅ 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?

Read over AMCAS and secondary essays. Kept track of current issues in medicine, such as health care and ethics issues, good night's sleep and breakfast in the morning

What impressed you positively?

Very small interview class. It made it seem a lot more personal and focused on me and the other interviewees. The facilities were also very good

What impressed you negatively?

My interviewer was behind schedule and was entirely too talkative. Lunch was so-so.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The size of the campus.

What are your general comments?

Very relaxed. The morning was filled with presentations concerning the curriculum, research opportunities, financial aid, and student life. It was followed by lunch with current students and the tour of the campus. Immediately following, the interviews were held and then we were free to leave. Overall a very good experience. As I said, the small size of the interviewing class made it seem a lot more personal.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
