How did you prepare for the interview?

Winged it. Interview are easy as long as you remember what you have done in the past.

What impressed you positively?

The school in general is very good. Huge stress on student support services. Extremely family friendly - they encourage families instead of seeing it as undesirable. Very Hi-tech - LOTS of the plastic dummy patient simulators that are used often.

What impressed you negatively?

The city. I found it pretty bleak and depressing. Also, the anatomy lab seems quite outdated.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing, they get you pretty well prepared.

What are your general comments?

There is a short presentation in the morning then 2x60min interviews and 1x20min. interview. They are very conversational and do go quickly. Lunch is with some current students and catered by a local cafe - the sandwiches were really good. Fin.aid. presentation in the afternoon followed by a tour. In by 8 out by 3. Very friendly admissions staff and they are very accommodating for those with spouses/little ones.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
