No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

I watched ''The History of Barbecue'' on the History Channel. I also watched Rutgers/Louisville. Then I got 7 hours of sleep.

What impressed you positively?

The people. Everyone was extremely nice and helpful. The students all seemed bright, motivated, and positive regarding the school. Also, the exercise center on campus is really, really good.

What impressed you negatively?

The facilities are lackluster. Nothing really fancy, not that I'm that hard to please. I could definitely see myself going to school there, as I'm not averse to spartan surroundings, but I've definitely seen better medical schools.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing, really. No surprises here.

What are your general comments?

Interviewers were nice, positive people. Everyone seemed helpful and enthusiastic about the school. While the facilities were not the greatest, they were adequate. My fellow interviewees were also all very cool, and I would definitely enjoy having them as classmates.
