No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN and AMCAS application (THATS all you need to do...and know yourself!)

What impressed you positively?

The people. They are cool, down-to-earth...not trying to talk their school "up." They have a solid reputation and they don't talk about it. They let the work they do speak for itself!

What impressed you negatively?

Honestly, NOTHING! Best interview experience I have had (I had 5 total, turned down 2)

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

What a great school it really is. A diamond in the rough

What are your general comments?

A somewhat long day. The long tour gets you a little tired out, but then you go eat lunch and listen to the dean and a faculty member (who are the BEST). Then they take you one at a time to do your interview. Then they take you to the student lounge where you can play pool or watch tv and talk to students and other interviewees. Then again, they take you from there for your final interview. Done.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
