How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, read about the program online, reviewed all of my application materials

What impressed you positively?

Student enthusiasm, size of the class (about 80 people), early clinical exposure

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing, although there is no gym and you need a car since it is a pretty rural environment without any public transportation.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How friendly everyone was going to be! It lessened my stress level. It was nice knowing about the information session with Dr. Sanford, where you have to introduce yourself and participate in a Problem-Based Learning session, ahead of time from this site.

What are your general comments?

My interview experience was good. I had 3 different interviews, 2 with faculty members and 1 with a student. all the interviews were about 30 minutes long. They were relaxed and very conversational.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
