How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read SDNet, talked to former students, practice interviews

What impressed you positively?

Enthusiasm of the current students, how thorough the presentations by the admissions office were. NEMC is a very pretty hospital. Early and constant clinical exposure (if you want it). The school has an office to help you find housing. Also, the sandwiches at lunch were very tasty.

What impressed you negatively?

Lecture halls are dark, screens are small. They keep repeating that board scores are almost exactly on the national average.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

If you want to do a dual degree, you will have to take classes instead of participating in the selectives.

What are your general comments?

The day starts relatively late (9:45 AM) and we spent the entire morning listening to presentations. During lunch, you have the opportunity to chat with first- and second-year students. After lunch there is a rushed tour, then they start cycling everyone through their interviews.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

No responses
