✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

I answered the questions in the interview chapter of the book "Essays That Will Get You Into Medical School." They are questions that help you focus on who you are and what you want interviewers to know about you.

What impressed you positively?

The med students (MS1) showing us the school seemed very non-stressed. I liked all the talk of border health care issues and the Commitment to Underserved People Program.

What impressed you negatively?

I don't know how much racial diversity is in the student body.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

We did not get to see the hospital on the tour. Lunch was a brown bag lunch and there was only 1 vegetarian bag available. About 7 other students were on the tour/information session. Every student is supposed to have 2 interviews, either with a MS4, PhD, or MD (from the community or faculty).

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
