✅ 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?

I read the Loma Linda Website, articles, SDN forums, and practiced questions with people.

What impressed you positively?

I liked the Christian atmosphere, and the ability to believe in a God and maybe miracles and still become a doctor.

What impressed you negatively?

Facilities are getting old, however the Centenial building will be finished in a couple years...don't know if it will benefit medical students.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That I had to be across the campus in 3 minutes, when I was told to be at the admissions office at at the same time.

What are your general comments?

The interview was very relaxed, the professors just wanted to get to know me. They asked fairly simple questions, until the ethical questions. All they want to know is how you will respond, and that you can think, not what the correct answer is. The professors also tried to find common interests to see what really excited me.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
