✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

10 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Looked at the school's info and tried to relax.

What impressed you positively?

The facilities. They are brand-new, and very high tech! Also, the school seems very accommodating to the students, because they realize this is a new program and will need some tweaking.

What impressed you negatively?

My interviewer. She talked almost the whole time and dominated the interview session. Also, I'm not too keen on the scholarly project- it's just not for me.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The anatomy lab is off campus, in another building.

What are your general comments?

It's a very low-key and relaxed day. An intro session about the curriculum and future changes, then a tour and interview (the order depends on the group you're in), followed by lunch with medical students, and that's it!

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Start the day a little bit later, like 10am. It's just so early, and since so many people drive up,
