How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

I read current events articles, read up on new medical advancements, read over my AMCAS.

What impressed you positively?

Everybody was overwhelmingly friendly and enthusiastic. All the students seemed very happy at the school.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The interviews were not in one central location; you'll have to walk to/find each of the interviewers' offices. They do a pretty good job of explaining directions though. There is also a lot of paperwork to fill out.

What are your general comments?

The interviews were VERY conversational and the interviewers were very friendly. I had two MDs that interviewed me and they did an excellent job of making me feel at ease. I was very stressed at the beginning, but I almost forgot I was in an interview a few minutes into it.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Nothing; the day was very well planned out.
