How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, Nova webstie.

What impressed you positively?

The OMM fellowship in the 3rd year will pay for your 4th and 5th year

What impressed you negatively?

Unless beaches keep you occupied, there's NOTHING in the area- no hiking or nature, or quirky cafe's. All chains stores and traffic. Also, the students that toured us seemed like we were wasting there time.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That taxi rides cost $20 for two miles, or charge by the minute if you're in traffic - $.60 per minute or 1/6 mile. No good pub trans.

What are your general comments?

The interviewers were enthusiastic, but everybody else seemed to have this blank stare of routine. The admissions director and student tour guides were very melencholy, although if I asked them what they thought about about the place they said they loved it. Surprisingly, the interview went great- they basically said I would get in and that I would be a great doctor.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
