How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Went over my application, questions from previous interviews

What impressed you positively?

The facilities at the school were amazing, the anatomy lab was really cool and everything looked new and nice.

What impressed you negatively?

My first interviewer was crazy. Complete racist and never even gave me a chance to speak during the interview. Plus I found that sitting in a room with other candidates was annoying because some people were really full of themselves.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

It's not actually in Chicago...quite a ways out of the city actually. Kind of in the middle of nowhere.

What are your general comments?

My second interview went great, but the first was really wierd. I'm not sure if maybe it was a test or something to see how I would react. Anyways, it's a long day with a lot of waiting around, but the school is really nice.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
