✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

8 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

4 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

UCHSC website, AMCAS, SDN (I wish I would have re-read my secondary essays)

What impressed you positively?

Facilities at Anchutz (Fitzsimmons) Campus. Friendly students. Welcoming environment.

What impressed you negatively?

My first interviewer was a jerk but said I did well. I found the whole day unprofessional compared with some of the other schools I interviewed at. Although the facilities are great, there is no gym, no close amenities, a sense of mediocrity amongst students and general lack of intensity I found on the East Coast. Moreover, the interviewers didn't have my GPA or MCAT score but asked about them anyway which I thought was totally stupid!

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish I would have know my interviewer was going to do half my interview in Spanish (I had mentioned my experience on my application).

What are your general comments?

The day began at 8AM, ended at 2:30PM. Long walking tour and bad parking situation. I basically had two one-on-one hour long interviews. One interviewer barely gave me enough time to answer his questions and the other name-dropped good institutions that person worked at as if to validate the school. Big focus on primary care. Not a lot of scholarship money.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
