No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, read AMCAS and secondary apps, mock interview, practiced questions

What impressed you positively?

The Spanish-speaking free clinic, the amount of things to do for free in STL, the new research building, the size of the medical campus (small), the low cost of living, the closeness of the hospital.

What impressed you negatively?

Apparently the city is not that safe. It didn't seem biker/jogger friendly either. The facilities are okay, but should probably be better, given the high tuition ($42,000). The tight seating and absence of desks in the lecture hall.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That the interview would be so casual - it's very low stress.

What are your general comments?

Short day - just one interview, a brief tour, and lunch. Pretty easy.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
