No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read SND, practiced mock interviews with my wife, lots of reading on health care issues as well as reading on moral and ethical issues.

What impressed you positively?

Very good pass rates for both exams (USMLE and COMLEX) and excellent residency placement, previous students in practically all Alo and osteo fields.

What impressed you negatively?

The facilities are not all that impressive, need lots of remodeling. Student’s launches and recreational areas too small.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The restaurant! I had a sandwich and it was a somewhat elegant place.

What are your general comments?

The interviews were actually semi-open file; the interviewer knows everything about you except your GPA and MCAT score. There are two interviews and in my case both were very nice and polite. It was more like a very low key conversation; they mainly wanted to know how much of a person you are and if you know what are you getting into. I heard of one interviewer asking tons of moral and ethical questions, be ready. Excellent school, and will take me where i need to go.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
