✅ 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?

Read MCW interview feedback, reviewed MCW's website, read a little about healthcare reform but it didn't come up

What impressed you positively?

How student-focused the school is. Since MCW doesn't have an undergrad, the med school students are the number 1 priority. They've also got nice new buildings and really nice people there.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing really...if anything I guess I'd say the student tour leaders spent most of the time talking to each other than trying to give us a good tour, but they were still receptive to any questions people had.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

If you're coming from the airport and going to a hotel (my flight was delayed and I missed the social + student hosting), you can take the Airport Connection shuttle service to your hotel. It's cheaper than a taxi, and you can arrange the ride right in the baggage claim. I stayed at Holiday Inn Express and the fare was $18, verses $30 something for a taxi out there.

What are your general comments?

Overall it was very positive. The faculty interviewer was the nicest I've had so far. I would love to go this school if I am accepted!

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
