✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read the school's website, thought about my significant experiences for behavioral questions.

What impressed you positively?

How friendly and welcoming the faculty and students were, and the construction of the hospital expansion.

What impressed you negatively?

How my interviewers didn't really seem like they wanted to be interviewing prospective students.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Downtown Knoxville is adjacent to the main campus so it's very reasonable to stay. The Dean does do an information session at 9 when the first tour is supposed to start, so even though there are tours all day it's good to get there in the morning even if you have an afternoon interview.

What are your general comments?

One of the more nerve-wracking I have had. The questions seemed to address really trivial parts of my application and were at superficial level. The reception room available all day was quite nice - it was great being able to talk to students and faculty all day.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
