How did you prepare for the interview?

What impressed you positively?

The nice facilities, the fact that they do a lot of research, have good residency placements, the Genesis curriculum seemed to be extremely effective.

What impressed you negatively?

The anatomy lab was not that great (very small). The entering class size is 250! Wow. Also, the simulated patients were not that high tech, but they had a lot of them.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
