No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Reviewed school's website.

What impressed you positively?

PBL is very well integrated into curriculum and students are enthusiastic about its use.

What impressed you negatively?

M-1 PBL labs feel like a jail cellblock. Program is very inbred (~50% from Mizzou undergrad, ~50% stay at Mizzou for residency)

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

There is very little good financial aid for anyone.

What are your general comments?

Two one hour interviews with practicing physicians at the hospital. Both have read over your AMCAS and your secondary so know what you wrote. Be prepared to reason through a few clinical ethics dilemmas. If the two evaluations of you disagree, you will get a third late interview. There also is a tour, lunch, and brief one-on-one meeting with a financial aid representative.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
