No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

re-read my AMCAS, SDN feedback and forums, school's website, just relaxed.

What impressed you positively?

My interviewer explained the admissions process at RWJ to me in detail, which I greatly appreciated. The facilities are all new and the staff and faculty that I saw were very enthusiastic.

What impressed you negatively?

We didn't get to see the medical school campus, which was a little disappointing. It would've been nice to see where we'd be going for 2 years.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The driving directions weren't very clear, I should've taken the train in.

What are your general comments?

I accidently got to my interview late, but my interviewer was really laid back and put me at ease immediately. After the interview, he took me to a private dining room in the CAB building, where a presentation on the school was being given. After the presentation, we had lunch and some med students came and talked with us and gave us a tour around the facilities in New Brunswick.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
