How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read my secondary application and some ethical issues web page.

What impressed you positively?

The curriculum fits my background well. The anatomy lab was state of the art-each station has a computer over the cadaver which the student can look up how to perform any dissection he/she needs. Also, the 3 students to 1 cadaver ratio is the best I've seen in places I've interviewed. A small school feel was nice. On campus housing and adjacent apt (called Woodlands) make living close to/on campus easy. Great match list. Great step 1 preparation according to a friend of mine who is a graduate of RFU. Current students appear to love the school. Friendly professors.

What impressed you negatively?

No cool places near by the school for a quick meal. Not a much to do near the campus. I didn't mind it since during the first two years you'll study a lot anyway. During the clinical years, students move down to downtown area. So, it really is ideal.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing.

What are your general comments?

The interview was laid back. The staff was friendly. The weather was great (in the low 70's and sunny). The tour guides were very friendly and even showed us their on campus apt. It was the most enjoyable interview day of the 6 I've had.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

They are great.
