What was the most interesting question?

I was asked about a specific situational is which students made huge mistakes on a microbiology exam clearly demonstrated they did not understand the material. They wanted to know how I thought the instructor should handle these students and what advice I had for the instructor to keep these students from getting into TUCOM.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

Dr. Haight is very funny and spent some time with us explaining the interview process (although very little time compared to the past). I thought the group interview with my peers would be intimidating but it actually went well and was fun to hear about what some of the other candidates had been up to. I was also happy to hear they are switching to an integrated curriculum.

What impressed you negatively?

I did not care for the facilities. I was a little small, and run down looking. The students had just started the block exam week so the tour guide was extremely stressed and basically knew nothing about the school. He kept asking if we had questions but could not answer any of them? Mare island is a little creepy and Vallejo is not the nicest area. Esthetics aside I am sure the education is good but I know I would not be happy there.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That the students where on a block week of exams. No one wanted to take the time to talk or answer any questions...they where all way to stressed out. I would have scheduled my interview at a different time. I also wish I had known that once you are excepted you have only 2 weeks to decide and then you have to put down a $2000 nonrefundable deposit to hold your seat...most schools give you until December when you interview at this time of the year.
