How did you prepare for the interview?

Reviewed AMCAS and other application materials, shadowed a current student for a full day, researched school, PRACTICE INTERVIEWS!!!

The Dean of Admissions and his staff are very cordial, warm, and helpful. They make you feel welcome there.

What impressed you negatively?

The school is old but it doesn't matter because the new Fitzsimmons campus is amazing.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

One interviewer had obviously chosen not to look through my file while the second interviewer asked me about the most miniscule details of my applications. Know your materials well.

What are your general comments?

I have to admit I am biased as this school has only given me positive impressions, however, I felt the interviewers were extremely thorough and seemed to do a great job of letting me more or less lead the interview the way I wanted it to go.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
