No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Reread my applications, looked up publications of research/researchers I was interested in, SDN, mock interviews at my home university, sleep :)

What impressed you positively?

Nice environment, friendly students, nice and fairly new research facilities, professors/researchers were fairly easy to approach and talk to. MD/PhD students were knowledgeable, friendly, and seemed to care. University seemed to care about research and were putting significant resources into research.

What impressed you negatively?

Seemed very research oriented, did not talk too much about the medical school. (Probably because this was interview weekend for MD/PhD and PhD applicants). Not the largest research institution. Lack of talk about financial support (got three different answers from three different students).

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That is was a combined interview session (i.e. both MD/PhD and PhD interviews)

What are your general comments?

It was a good experience, liked the atmosphere, some of the research going on there was very interesting.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

No responses
