No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Used this site, talked to friends who'd had interviews, thought about why I wanted to do meds.

What impressed you positively?

Friendly atmosphere - people were working hard to make everyone feel comfortable. Interview process was well organized and efficient. The interviewers themselves appeared interested in what I had to say and often asked small followup questions to my answers, making it seem more like a conversation.

What impressed you negatively?

The tour was kind of weak - it was during the weekend so we couldn't see some of the labs. Also, we had a big group so it was hard to hear what was being said at times.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing really.

What are your general comments?

Everything was aimed at making the interview process as smooth and comfortable as possible. First year med students talked to us before and after, helping people to calm down and relax. Dal's reputation for being friendly and welcoming is well deserved.
