How did you prepare for the interview?

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

Students seemed really happy and down-to-earth. Looked like a pretty relaxed and supportive place to be.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

Research? eh....not so much. Seems like what everyone says about the weather is true - it snowed like 2 feet (in october!) right after I left. Maybe the school is a little TOO relaxed, if you know what I mean...

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Rochester is a big PBL school and way into the biopsychosocial model. I knew this from reading these feedbacks, but its important to stress here.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

There are 2 interviews. My first interview was great - the interviewer ended up talking more than I did and I really felt like we had a good conversation about the school and its strengths/weaknesses. My second interviewer did not show up, so I ended up being shunted to an admon member who wasn't really prepared and my stress about my interviewer not showing up didn't help. That one didn't go as well. There was a lot of downtime during the day where the interviewees (about 10-12 in all) all just sat in the front of the admissions office. The Rochester students were really friendly, though, and were always asking if we had any questions, etc. Out of all my interviews, the Rochester students seemed the happiest and most willing to talk to interviewees.
