✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

6 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read the website, re-read my AMCAS and secondary essays.

What impressed you positively?

The town: Chapel Hill is a nice little area. The facilities are expanding and getting better, there are three large hospitals plus a neuroscience hospital on the campus and the medical, dental, nursing and pharmacy schools are all close together. I like that the UG campus is also connected and the great sports tradition that UNC has.

What impressed you negatively?

My interviewers were late. I had to arrive at 11:15, had a brief talk with financial aid, then a student tour, lunch at 1...then I waited until 3 for my first interview. Well, it ended up actually being about 3:20. Even though that interview was awesome, I felt like there was a lot of unnecessary downtime during the interview day.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How I'm qualified to be a physician! haha.

What are your general comments?

I think I mad a good impression. Once we got there Dr. Harper came in to talk to the group and really let us know that we were all qualified to become a doctor and they really just want to get to know us a little better and make sure we are ''a reasonable facsimile'' of our AMCAS and secondary applications. Overall, a nice day and the free Panera lunch is nice too!

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

I know faculty are extremely busy, but it seems like there should be a little more stability in the
