No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

I re-read my personal statement and my secondary essays and watched the admissions DVD and read the brochure.

What impressed you positively?

The friendliness of the students, the administration and the faculty. And their HONESTY!

What impressed you negatively?

The thin walls at the international house. The guy next door got a phone call at 6 or something and I heard the whole thing.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing really.

What are your general comments?

It was low stress. It was more of an attempt for them to get to know who you are. They provide a nice lunch and they give you a tour of the school. Everyone I met asked me if I was interviewing and wished me good luck and told me how much they loved the school. And they have a very honest administration that tells you thing other medical schools won't.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
