No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

I re-read my AMCAS essay and secondary essays. I have a friend who goes to the school so I chatted with her and a classmate a couple nights before.

What impressed you positively?

Everyone I encountered at the school was happy to be there and smiled a lot. They seemed to know what they were about and liked their position.

What impressed you negatively?

Although research is an option, it seems to take a back seat to clinical care.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I didn't think that there were any surprises, but I live in the D.C. metro area and am familiar with it (and the traffic).

What are your general comments?

The day began with dropping off a security questionnaire to the security office. After that a number of school officials gave us an introduction to USUHS that made me feel as if they were trying to give an honest presentation of the school to people who have a big decision to make. Then, there was a tour given by a 2nd year student followed by lunch with him. After lunch there were two interviews that were staggered enough in order to have time to speak with the school officals who addressed us in the morning. After the final interview at 4 o'clock we were free to go.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
