How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, UMass website

What impressed you positively?

Students seem happy. Cheap tuition. Good opportunities.

What impressed you negatively?

My 2nd interviewer made it clear that she didn't have a lot of time and was really squeezing me in. Not so cool, in my opinion. No campus, just 1 med building, 1 research building, 1 hospital.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I thought their questions were supposed to be "get to know you questions" but my interviewer seemed to really like asking about current events.

What are your general comments?

School was great, interviewers not so much. First interviewer acted like she didn't believe any of my answers. Second one in a rush.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
