✅ 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, read the school website, asked questions of friends currently attending, looked at questions from other interviews

What impressed you positively?

The facilities were state-of-the-art, all of the medical buildings were on-campus (no travel! Yay!) and were pretty new. Also, the students seemed really happy and welcoming.

What impressed you negatively?

I wish students all lived together, but they seem really spread out. The hospital is really nice, but it's private so I wonder how much third and fourth year students really get to DO.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

They are completely changing their curriculum beginning with the entering class of 2007. Ask about it!

What are your general comments?

I had a late interview, so I didn't have to be at the school until 11:00. We had a presentation about the school, financial aid, the curriculum, etc. and then students gave us an abbreviated tour of the building that houses classes. Then we had lunch (it was good) in a conference room, a tour of the children's hospital, and sat around until our interviews. Altogether it was a relatively low-stress day.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
