How did you prepare for the interview?

Reviewed secondary and AMCAS application

What impressed you positively?

The school was seriously like a little community. Everyone was nice to everyone else, the ministry office has food and candy sitting out for the med students just because. The facilities are really nice and there's alot of technology integration. Everything is localized in this one building so you really never have to go outside in the Chicago winter. This school has to have one of the best gyms.

What impressed you negatively?

The location of the school is really out in the suburbs of Chicago. Not many research opportunities. Not public transit friendly.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How much walking we'd be doing...ow! Also how far this school is out of the way. I would have driven to this school instead of public transit.

What are your general comments?

Everyone from the administration office to the interviewers to the students were very nice and very helpful. Definitely try to interview during the week so you can see this little building alive. It's like a beehive! Ladies bring comfortable shoes!! Also, I only stayed in the city because I was up there for more than one interview. I would not recommend staying in Chicago for an interview at Loyola.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
