✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

8 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

8 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN Database. Mock questions. Web site research. Pubmed research.

What impressed you positively?

Some of the new technology is impressive (3D holograph of the human body, mannequins that do nearly everything that humans do, artificial labor and babies). Nice campus that looks attractive.

What impressed you negatively?

The old school approach to teaching/medicine. Still quite a lot of the old-timers around who have an air of arrogance.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Parking was terrible. The police didn't show up to do their job of arranging parking. So some other guy tried to handle the parking, and he was a real parking nazi. He made me drive all over the campus for no reason. Once the police arrived, I was able to park.

What are your general comments?

First interview was amazing. Really nice woman with intelligent and probing questions. The second interviewer was an old guy who had little or nothing to say, and the silence was very uncomfortable at times. He also kept looking me up and down inappropriately, and that added to my discomfort.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
