✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

9 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

7 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Boonshoft med website, SDN interview feedback page, review AMCAS.

What impressed you positively?

Facilities are brand spanking new and pretty impressive. Anat lab has vents under tables to pull nasty Formalin smell down rather than up at your face. Medical building has plenty of study rooms, computers, and even a lounge with pool table etc. The faculty and students were really friendly.

What impressed you negatively?

No 'teaching hospital' on site, not necessarily bad thing just different than the norm. Dayton area near Wright state is pretty low key, nothing too special. Got a parking ticket despite having a visitor pass in window.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Apparently there are 4-6 spots obscurely marked as Visitor spots in a random row towards the end of Lot 16. And you can ONLY park there.... and you need a visitor pass.

What are your general comments?

Very friendly: They took care of my parking ticket :D Pretty low stress interview, they aren't trying to trip you up or skewer you like a kabob for dinner.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

No responses
