No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDNET, AMCAS file, articles

What impressed you positively?

Vermont's beautiful! Small class size. New additions to existing facilities.

What impressed you negatively?

I didn't really see any of the usual places that is normally shown at a tour. We didn't really go into rooms or labs.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

A lot of the class are non-traditional applicants. Many of them are married and/or have kids.

What are your general comments?

I didn't really expect that my interviewer would ask me questions like the ones that were on SDNET. I thought it would be more conversational. The other interviewees I spoke to had more conversational, laidback interviews, so I guess it just depends. Overall, it went ok.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
