How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

sdn, ohsu website, review application

What impressed you positively?

the hospital facilities are concentrated tightly together; the positive vibes from the current medical students; the apparent growth of the med school program

What impressed you negatively?

the lecture facilities were a bit out of date and they did not offer video recordings of the lectures to the students; the medical center is undergoing some financial strain

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

the interview day seemed a bit unorganized in that there were large gaps in my schedule and the tour did not have any apparent structure. Yet, I took away an opinion that OHSU is quickly becoming a top tier medical school though it has a way to go.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
