No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read over school info, practiced a few questions with friends, talked to myself on the drive there

What impressed you positively?

The faculty and administrators were very friendly and easy going. Faculty and students seemed very enthusiastic about the school.

What impressed you negatively?

The location of the school is kind of strange. It is in an area of small businesses and homes and there is a big empty field across the street. The school seems a bit out of place there. Also, the tour was pulled together last minute and didn't show us much. Supposedly a second year student was supposed to give the tour but couldn't because of a class conflict so we got a pinch hitter who was nice and entertaining but not really sure where he was going or what to show us.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing. It was all pretty straight forward. They do have a new program option that lets you graduate in three years for primary care specialties. They will tell you all about it when you interview there.

What are your general comments?

The interview was really laid back and the people I interviewed with were really great. They were all smiles and cracking jokes the whole time, etc... Be prepared to read an article that you have to summarize at the end of your interview. But dont stress about it.... it was a high school level read and the summary can be done in four sentences or less if you want. The group I was in talked most of the time we were supposed to be reading it.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
