What impressed you positively?

The campus, students, curriculum, were all superb - much better than I had anticipated. The city of Johnson City seemed large enough to have things to do on weekends, and was located in the most beautiful area.

What impressed you negatively?

Rotations during your 3rd year are in hospitals scattered around the area - some are 40 miles away from Johnson City.

What are your general comments?

I was very impressed with everything BUT the interviewers. Both of my interviewers were unprepared, neither seemed to know what they were supposed to ask me, and wanted to talk more about themselves and their lives more so than my experiences and why I chose to apply to their school. One told me I should apply to a higher ranked school (bc of my undergraduate background). I was not asked any questions that would have given them any indication of whether I would be a good doctor. Though it was supposed to be a 'get to know you' interview, the interviewers simply asked me if I had any questions for them and did not ask me any pertinent questions.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
