✅ 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?

SDN, Kaplan's interview questions, online links, everything, school website, etc.

What impressed you positively?

They are building new buildings and have a new hospital. Also, you can go to different campuses across the state to study your 3rd and 4th years.

What impressed you negatively?

There really isn't that much to do around the area, you are in the middle of no-where if you travel 1 hour in any direction.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The medical school is not in the same area as the undergraduate college.

What are your general comments?

Overall, it was great. The cramed 8 of us in a tiny room to sweat to death and wait for our interviewers to come and get us. Then, they take you out one at a time, over a 2.5 hour period (don't be the last person). The interview was very laid back and the guy said ''I want to be able to convice the Adcom to admit you, so help me get to know you better''. Then you get a tour of the hospital (kind of old, but being new construction is everywhere), and then you get a really really good lunch!

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
