Mock Interview, answering common interview questions, looking over AMCAS, reading school website, and looking over articles/essays of current topics in medicine.

What impressed you positively?

The facilities were second to none, amazing HSLC and more new facilities on the way. Also everyone was so warm and welcoming, they really made you feel relaxed and at home.

What impressed you negatively?

I don't know if it could be considered negative but all the students pretty much didn't say a negative word about the school and or program. Also the snow and freezing temperatures.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing

What are your general comments?

Great school, great facilities. My interview was relaxed, almost too relaxed. Besides asking me the necessary questions he kind of didn't know what to ask me or what to talk about. Pretty much the whole interview was dictated by me and I just made sure to talk about the important parts of my application. Wish I actually had more questions asked.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
