How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read Student MD, talked to friends attending the med school, re-read my app, read &quot;Critical Condition&quot; (a book about the state of healthcare in the U.S.), looked up info on my interviewers.

What impressed you positively?

Once the construction is complete the facilities will be very nice. The students seemed to be very well-rounded and I liked the M.D./MPh program. The new integrative approach to the curriculum seems to be working well for the 1st years.

What impressed you negatively?

The haphazard approach to the interview. Also, during parts of the tour the guides would just quickly walk us through key areas without describing where we were.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That I should have done more self-analysis--not just medically related topics. My 2nd interviewer really focused on philosophical inquiries.

What are your general comments?

I arrived at UNC the day before my interview and checked to make sure that nothing had changed with the interview or interviewers and they said no. The next morning, however, both of my interviewers were different. My first interviewer was a fill in for the original so she had just received my file and was flipping through it during the interview. My 2nd interview was about an hour late so they asked me to tour with the rest of the group and go to lunch and return back (when everyone else was leaving) for my 2nd interview with another person.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
