How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read a couple books on health care, medical ethics course, read the local newspaper of my state for health issues (very happy I did this and I think this is what most impresed them,) podcasts

What impressed you positively?

The people there are crazy nice, everyone was very happy, the location rules, the teachers are great, the programs they offer are great, the surrounding hospitals arre top notch, huge region to work with

What impressed you negatively?

The facilities aren't that great but they are putting money into them to fix them up, but who really cares if the teachers and programs are top notch, and the hospital is fantastic.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How nice everyone would be. There is no need to stress about the interview. I felt more stress before the interview than I actually did in the interview itself. Oh, and the cookie plate. Apparently if they offer you a cookie before you leave it means that your kind of doomed.

What are your general comments?

It was great. Super low stress. The interviewers were super nice and smiled and laughed the whole time. Be prepared to talk about more than medical stuff. All in all it was a great experience.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
