No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Reviewed SDN, essayedge.com interview questions, talked with a friend who had interviewed with them last year

What impressed you positively?

The new campus, the 1st and 2nd year students who spoke with us

What impressed you negatively?

Their 9 credit English requirement (I only took 7 I find out at the interview) that despite a masters degree, being a year out of school and getting a 13 on the Verbal section of the MCAT, they are being rigid about. The interview day was too long - many of the speeches could have been shortened to 15 minutes.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I was ''deficient'' in 2 credits of English.

What are your general comments?

Overall a good experience. The tour was helpful - the tour of Fitzsimons was interesting (albeit at the end of an overly long day), the interviewers were open and seemed to genuinely want to get to know me - i had one 4th year medical student and one MD.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
