How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

2 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Reading. SDN. Lit in my research areas. My abstract. LOTS about health care (found a presentation on their web page about the health care system given to this years med students, www.gooznews.com, candidates positions, Gawande. . .)

What impressed you positively?

Campus. Students. The sparkly Children's Hospital. 10:1 study room to student ratio (seemingly). Library. Fellow interviewers.

Financial aid meeting was pretty weak. Just gave us a flier telling us how to apply for FAFSA and told us to hit up the rotary club for scholarships.

Interviews conducted in adjoining study rooms with collapsible walls. (Read: can hear every word of the interviews going on around you)

<3 CU.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Hire a good web designer. . . the SOM web page is a little sparse IMO
