How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

I read articles about healthcare issues, did mock interviews, read up on SDN, and reviewed my application.

What impressed you positively?

The school has amazing facilities, and the students seem very happy.

What impressed you negatively?

The interview was incredibly stressful. I had difficulty understanding my interviewer, and when I asked about the robotic patients that were hyped all day, she said they did not have them ( which is untrue... they do have them and they are called STAN and PEDA)

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The med school is only three buildings on an undergraduate campus.

What are your general comments?

My interview felt really bad, but it turned out to have gone better than I anticipated. Other than the actual interview, the visit to the school was really great.
