✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

9 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

9 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Reviewing personal statement, what I've learned through my experiences, etc.

What impressed you positively?

Valhalla is beautiful, lots of trees and what not. The campus is gorgeous, and I'm assuming it is even more so during the sunny months. I was kind of sketched out about the prison close by at first, but it's not bad at all. There is lots of security on campus. The cadaver lab is awesome...so are pretty much all the other facilities there too. Housing looks nice as well.

What impressed you negatively?

Very large class size.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

To relax and have fun!

What are your general comments?

They had told me ahead of time that the interviews are closed file and the interviewer will only have my personal statement (provided by me), but my interviewer had gotten a hold of my AMCAS activities as well.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
