No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read SDN feedback, reviewed my application, read up on UNC's curriculum

What impressed you positively?

I would have to say that the most impressive thing about UNC is the people. The faculty members who interviewed me, the students, and the other applicants were all very friendly and personable. They were the kind of people I would like to spend the next four years in medical school with. Chapel Hill is a very nice community.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing really. The tour was kind of brief.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How friendly people in North Carolina are!

What are your general comments?

My interview at UNC was a great experience. Even though they're strong in research, they are also serious about primary care. I guess that it's the first school I've interviewed at that really felt like home. Since my interview, I've pretty much had my heart set on going there.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
