✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Studied my file and the university website.

What impressed you positively?

Lots of hospitals to work with.

What impressed you negatively?

The interviewer- seemed totally disinterested in me as either person or student, and wouldn't follow up any answer I gave. Felt like I was left hanging. The presentations- whatever was said about other medical schools was finished with ''but we do it better'' or some variant thereof. Total turnoff, knocking the competition. The students- all day, I never encountered a student happy to be at UC. They were happy just to be somewhere.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

UC has an overall culture, both institutional and personal, that is totally wrong for me.

What are your general comments?

The interview was the biggest turnoff. If I had been given an interviewer who had shown the least bit of interest in me or my answers, perhaps it would be different.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

No responses
