How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, reread my AMCAS and secondary application

What impressed you positively?

The facilities are great, the students all had positive things to say about the school, seems like there are great resources available to help with studies, finances...etc.

What impressed you negatively?

The school sells itself a lot. And I'm not sure I'm a fan of traveling all over the state for third and fourth year rotations

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The one on one interview counts for next to nothing. My interviewer said that the letter she writes is about or less important than another letter of recommendation.

What are your general comments?

The interview was extremely not stressful. The one on one interview was easy going and conversational without any direct questions except for ''Is there anything you would like us to add to your file?''. They also fed us a pretty good lunch. Also...fantastic turnaround time! I got my acceptance letter less than two weeks after my interview!

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Either make the interview more important or maybe not make it a requirement for long distance travel
