No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Researched the school through their website and SDN.

What impressed you positively?

The enthusiasm of the students and the interviews for the school and medicine as a career.

What impressed you negatively?

The amount of downtime between interviews.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

They have a problem-based learning curriculum, but both my interviewers called in ''small-group'' learning and corrected me when I said PBL.

What are your general comments?

It starts at a reasonable time (8 AM) and there is a lot of downtime. If you're lucky, you can go see classes in the morning, but expect to be there for awhile. The student interviewers are pretty laid back, but don't direct the conversation so come prepared to talk about yourself without prompting.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
