No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, mock interviews with professors, student workshops on interviews, friends, school websites, and "Iserson's Getting Into A Residency" -- it's still applicable for pre-meds!

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

How friendly the staff was and their willingness to get to know you. Also, Dr. K explained that the PBL style of learning makes us more competitive as clinicians and board scores are higher. In Erie, PBL is highly competitive to get into.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

Although the facilities are brand new and high tech, it looks transplanted. The building is stand alone and along a road with an elementary and high school that will have traffic in the morning.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

PBL allows for a flexible schedule with teachers more willing to assist the students because there is very little lecture time (only a few classes are lecture based). Also, because the anatomy lab is run by prosection (no dissection during lab), students who do well can be on the prosection team and get paid for it.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

I felt very positive and laid back during my interview. Because I'd prepared and it wasn't my first medical school interview, I felt less stressed and was myself. The school is great and I hope to be accepted from there.
