✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

amcas; read sdn interview feedback; school website

What impressed you positively?

all faculty, including Phd, are required to teach; the director of admissions was really down to earth and quite informative; lots of opportunities to apply yourself as a med student in other capacities, ie. international.

What impressed you negatively?

like another student noted in one of the feedbacks below, most of the students didnt have it hard in life; also, we didn't get to talk to many students, and the tour was rushed.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

although interviews are scheduled ahead of time, there is a significant time gap between interviews; for example, some people had interviews that were 3-4 hours apart. there was nothing during that free time that was scheduled for us, so we were basically sitting around the waiting room reading magazines or talking to whoever was there. also, the interviews weren't all close to the admissions department; some students had to take school shuttles across campus. all that free time we had could have been used for a session on financial aid, or opportunities to talk to current students, etc.

What are your general comments?

overall, yale is more associated with its historical value an prestige; had there been more structure to the interview day, i would have gotten a better perspective of the school.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
