How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Reviewed AMCAS and Secondary Application. SDN. Reviewed current health care policies. Practiced interview questions with friends.

What impressed you positively?

The new facilities have been designed to maximize student comfort. Good place to learn. The students were happy and seemed to be a cohesive group. The new facilities seem to encourage students to hang out together since they all study, eat and hang out there.

What impressed you negatively?

The medical school is sequestered at the top of the University of Utah campus. So it is a long walk to anything that is not medical school related.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

There are two interviews: one is conducted by a 4th year student and the other a physician.

What are your general comments?

The student interview was very relaxed. The physician interview was much more intense. They went through my application like a shopping list asking me what my role was in each experience and how many hours I spent on it. There were also several open ended questions. It was not conversational.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
