How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, prepared questions ''why medicine'', re-read AMCAS and secondaries, read articles on medical ethics and health policy.

What impressed you positively?

The hospital is amazing (it just got ranked number 1 in the nation for the 17th year in a row) The campus area is nice--but don't stray away from it...

What impressed you negatively?

My faculty interview was really intense, nto conversational at all. The guy was a blank wall, I had no idea what he was thinking and he kept asking me really hard questions.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish I had known the nature of the faculty interview. I was expecting something really laid-back (my other interviews were that way) and I was caught off guard.

What are your general comments?

Stayed at Reed Hall (didn't go to Greeters the night before, but I heard that was really great). Breakfast (buy your own) and chatting with other applicants (15 of us there) Orientation (boring), lunch with faculty and student (our student didn't show up), tour by a student, two interviews, one with a M4 (closed file) and the other with a faculty member (open file).

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
