No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Interview feedback, read some SDN, and lots of bioethics topics and relevant topics in healthcare.

What impressed you positively?

There were many impressive things about the school, but the most impressive thing was the Clinical Skill Center, where med. students practice their clinical skills on standardized patients. The facilities were absolutely amazing!

What impressed you negatively?

I left with an overall positive impression, and I can't think of much that left a negative impression on me aside from some of the other applicants, some of whom were a bit rude.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wasn't as informed about the research going on at UAMS as I would have liked to have been. There is a lot more research going on there than I realized.

What are your general comments?

The interview was very laid back. There was an fourth year medical student, an internal medicine resident, and a faculty in nuclear medicine. The interview was very relaxed, and the interviewers were very friendly.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
