How did you prepare for the interview?

Did a mock-interview with my wife

What impressed you positively?

The head of admissions gives a 60 minute power point presentation on the many benefits of the school. He answered every question that I came with during teh presentation. It showed that they really wanted to give students all the information they wanted to know. Clinic just got remodeled. According to UNMC they have had the highest (or 2nd highest) average gpa in the nation for entering freshmen for the past 8 years. In the top ten in nation for scores on boards 1 & 2.

What impressed you negatively?

gpa very important at this school. seems like they focus a little too much on it.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I didn't have to study up so much about UNMC on my own, they tell you EVERYTHING you ever would want to know about the school in a presentation before the interview.

What are your general comments?

Meet at 9:00 am and go to powerpoint presentation about the school. 10:00 tour the school and clinic. 11:00 interview.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
