✅ 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?

SDN, looked over my secondary and primary, found a suit to wear.

What impressed you positively?

The ladies in the admisisons office were really nice, the interviewers didn't try to intimidate me (that much). They were trying to get to know me more and see if I could fit in at the school.

What impressed you negatively?

They didn't say much about alternative opportunites in the educational aspect of the school like overseas clerkships, possibility of pbl, or tell me much about research opportunities. It seemed like there wasn't much emphasis on preventative medicine/nutrition etc from what the students said (even though the website claims that's a big part of things).

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I really found this out after, but the essays(secondarys) can make or break you here. You really need to answer their questions explicitly.

What are your general comments?

It was nice and I did find out that it was a good school. It seemed like you had to be proactive in order to get involved in programs that interest you (like anywhere I guess) - I'm just saying that they're not coming to you.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

No responses
