How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read over AMCAS. secondary, websites

What impressed you positively?

A lot of the facilities are brand new post katrina. The learning center is amazing. Also, 1st and 2nd year students have a clinical skills lab course where they get hands on experience with things such as sterile technique, measuring blood pressure, CPR, intubation, and emergency assessment. Also, the students are very friendly and more than welcome to answer any questions you may have.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing really

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing, the website has lots of good information

What are your general comments?

Interviewer's were very laid back and friendly. They seemed interested in getting to know you far beyond your grades/MCAT numbers. In fact, grades/MCAT were barely even mentioned at all 3 of my interviews. I had 3 in total: 1 closed file with a 4th year student, and 2 open file with faculty members (1 Ob-Gyn and 1 Emergency Medicine). Waiting outside the office for your name to be called did get kind of stressful but once your 1st interview starts you'll wonder why you were even stressed out to begin with. Great experience which exceeded my expectations on every level.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

None
