How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

read university website, re-read my app, looked on here, prepped with friends already in medschool.

What impressed you positively?

Everyone was extremely nice and friendly. Also, the students at this school (dental, pharm, OD, MD) are above average, looks-wise.

What impressed you negatively?

There was construction in the hospital and in the parking lot, but nothing too annoying. The food they served for lunch wasn't the best.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

It's not as conservative as everybody says WV is.

What are your general comments?

Try to locate where you're supposed to go BEFORE you have to go there - I didn't and was almost late. All in all, this school is pretty nice, the people are great. Nothing to worry about in the interview, I could have done it without prepping at all. Also, be prepared for snow.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
