No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Researched the school (of course, I did this before I even applied), read about my interviewer.

What impressed you positively?

Everything. Nashville is a great city. The facilities are amazing at the medical school. The new children's hospital is top notch. Everybody was happy and friendly. It was almost surreal how great everything was.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing at all.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing. Alot of people were nervous about the interview. Remember, it is an honor to be at such a great school, and you should be excited, not nervous about the opportunity to be there.

What are your general comments?

First, a talk about the school from the dean of admissions. Then a little about financial aid and a presentation about the new and exciting curriculum. A tour by two very nice students followed by lunch. Interviews are either in the morning or afternoon. If you miss the children's hospital tour, ask and you can get a special tour. It is worth it.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
