How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

I reviewed aamcas and my secondary. I also clicked around the website.

What impressed you positively?

Systems based curriculum seems like a good thing. The facilty is really great, especially the clinical skills lab and the sim lab. Also , everyone in Shreveport is very friendly. It is really easy to get around the city. In addition, they are really family oriented at this school, and they wil not give you a hard time if you are already married or have kids. In fact, they will do whatever they can to help you. Also, Shreveport may not be famous for its night-life like New Orleans is, but you can still have a good time.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish that I knew LSU Shreveport had so much to offer. I am from New Orleans, so I thought that LSU Shreveport would be like the step-child of LA med schools, but in some ways it was actually better.

What are your general comments?

Great experience. My interviewers were easy-going, and the interviews were more like conversations that naturally progressed ( and went on some SERIOUS tangents). I can say that I had fun at my interview. How many applicants can say that?

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

No suggestions. Just Kudos!
