✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, Mock interviews with teachers, student workshop for interviewing tips, friends, school websites and &quot;Iserson's Getting Into A Residency&quot; - it's still applicable for pre-meds!

What impressed you positively?

How wonderful it was talking to the students. They were very willing to talk to you about the entire process they went through. There is bond with the class and you learn along with other health professionals (dental, pharm), so it's more of a medical mecca.

What impressed you negatively?

They promised to call on a certain date. I was wait listed, and did not receive a personal call.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That you can do your elective rotations for third and fourth year ANYWHERE you want! (I have family in India, so that's a plus)

What are your general comments?

My interview was so positive, I really felt as if it couldn't have gone better. Of course, I was a little nervous at first because this is my first choice school, but they were quick to tell me that they just wanted to get to know me better.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
