How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, school website, practiced interview questions, reviewed AMCAS and secondary application

What impressed you positively?

Everyone was extremely friendly and it seems that the faculty try very hard to make everyone feel welcome and comfortable. Also, they foster cooperative learning rather than competition.

What impressed you negatively?

There wasn't really a tour. They had some issues transporting us from building to building, but it was worked out.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

The interviews were more of a conversation. There is one with a faculty member and one with a student. They make you feel very comfortable, so it isn't too stressful. They have three questions they are required to ask you and then they just focused on specific activities that I have done and am doing now. It seemed that they really want to give you every opportunity to do your best at the interview and to really get to know you beyond your GPA and MCAT scores (which interviewers do not have access to).

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
