✅ 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?

Mock interview, reviewed AMCAS, read UVM website esp. for Vermont Integrated Curriculum (VIC)

What impressed you positively?

VIC gets students into the clinical setting early; facilities are well equipped / newly renovated; students collaborate rather than compete and really like the program; Burlington and the nearby mountains are rad!

What impressed you negatively?

At times, my interviewer monologued on his own research at the expense of discussing my candidacy in greater depth.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How conversational and adept the lecturers are. Sit in on a class if time permits.

What are your general comments?

My interviewer was a bit aloof/cryptic but we covered some areas of my AMCAS in great depth. The interviewer had obviously taken notes on my AMCAS ahead of time. However, I left feeling as though I hadn't spoken my case fully.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
