No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, read over essays.

What impressed you positively?

Facilities are brand-new, students were enthusiastic, a close-knit family atmosphere, and the organ-based curriculum during second year.

What impressed you negatively?

Seems that there is a little bit of bouncing around between clinical rotations during the 4th year, but furnished housing is usually available (and included in tuition).

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How beautiful Maine is.

What are your general comments?

I've already been accepted to an MD (in the U.S.) school...I went in just wanting to make sure that I was making a right choice by going to that MD school, and now UNECOM is neck-in-neck with that other school. I got nothing but good vibes from the school, the students, the town (Biddeford/Saco), and the state of Maine. The interview itself was a very enjoyable conversation with a retired pathologist (DO) and a second year medical student.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
