✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

10 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Relaxed and read the entire catalog of the school (except the international student stuff)

What impressed you positively?

Students dissect whole cadavers rather than viewing pre-dissected prosections. There is alot of research going on that students can participate in. The campus is tucked away and remote, very quiet and charming. The students all seemed happy and enthusiastic. Dr. Haight was incredibly insightful and commiserated with our plights this late in the cycle. He offered email notification. The school has so much potential for growth. The group interview was wonderful because they had taken the time to find out about you and ask directed questions they had prepared. They had examined our applications for one week prior. Very impressive school altogether.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing. All positive, even the high security. I arrived two hours early and the campus was closed. I was swarmed by NICE security guys telling me where to park and wait.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I learned more about the incredible history of Mare Island.

What are your general comments?

Altogether a delightful day. Everyone I met seemed happy and enthusiastic. The interviewers were completely top-notch (the Rabbi was absolutely the cutest thing, smiling and chuckling, and he asked the cutest questions!)

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

None. Dr. Haight and Ms. Huckle were both fantastic and everything ran very smoothly.
