✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

10 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

9 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, AAMCAS, Arrived early (most arrived right at the time, or even late...bad form)

What impressed you positively?

Brand new facilities. The whole staff was amazingly personable. They really did seem genuine when they state they want you to have a good interview experience.

What impressed you negatively?

One interviewer is late, not too big a deal. Neither had looked at my application beforehand. One promised to read it later, the other breezed through and asked a few perfunctory questions. Considering the number of applicants they see, and the fact they're running practices too, I can understand why they run short on time.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That the interview really is low stress. You can read it a thousand times and not believe it, but it really is true. Just be yourself, and be confident.

What are your general comments?

I actually had a good time. I never thought I would. Everyone was amazingly warm, and the new facilities were fantastic. It went from a second or third choice to my number one pick in a flash. The questions were all very straightforward. My interviewers just seemed to want to get to know me and my motivations in medicine, nothing more.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

A little bit more reading material in the waiting room...Some of us had a long time to wait.
