✅ 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?

I read this Web site, the Wall Street Journal, NIH MedLine Plus news briefs, and much, much more.

What impressed you positively?

The cultural environment and the students make MCW very safe and family-friendly. The students seemed very grounded and caring.

What impressed you negatively?

My impression from the experience and what I have read lead me to believe that the school is not as competitive as most for residency placement. The students will say this is not true, but the facts they cite to support their view are vague.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing.

What are your general comments?

I would recommend that everyone apply to this school and apply early because they seem better organized and more timely in response than any other school at which I interviewed. Knowing that I was accepted to at least one school by mid-October made the whole rest of the year much less stressful.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
