How did you prepare for the interview?

read my aacomas and western university secondary apps, student doctor net

What impressed you positively?

the students and faculty were really helpful and friendly, the campus is undergoing a good change, a new COM building, relatively clean, given the area

What impressed you negatively?

it's fairly small but that is changing, long wait for the interview, cost of a western u student life is expensive, with tuition room and expenses its going to be around 60K

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

nothing, exverything i expected to happen did

What are your general comments?

It was ok, like I said before, there was a long wait. But overall, the interviewer was nice, I messed up and when he asked me about my mcat score and if i was happy, i said no, then he asked, well if you think you can do better, why not retake it again. I think he really looks at the score which kinda sucks. other than that he was friendly and understanding. He made it like a conversation besides his notetaking.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
