How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

7 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Looked up some information on their website, re-read my application, rehearsed common questions.

What impressed you positively?

The facilities had to be refinished after flooding a few years ago, and they are absolutely stunning. The anatomy lab and other areas in the basement are top-notch and have the latest technology. The medical center itself is huge. The admissions staff is extremely friendly and easy to talk to.

What impressed you negatively?

The tour is interesting, but it was extremely hot outside.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That it would be so laid back and easy to handle. There's no reason to stress out about this interview, just be aware of your file and have answers to the typical "Why do you want to be a doctor?" questions.
