✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

I read over my primary and secondary applications, browsed the school's website, and read other interview feedback on this school on SDN.

What impressed you positively?

How happy the students seemed, the laid back atmosphere, and that my interviewer told me how they recognize how horrible the first two years of medical school are and so they try to teach in a compassionate way and not make it any more horrible that it already has to be.

What impressed you negatively?

It was 4 degrees in March, but really nothing.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Maybe how cold it would be.

What are your general comments?

I stayed in the Hampton Inn which was great. They have a $69 dollar rate if you are with the school and it includes breakfast. The school is pretty small so it's easy to get around and find parking. We saw a presentation on the school, talked with the recruitment office who was SO nice, and then took a tour with the students, and then interviewed. It was very laid back.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
