✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

10 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

read SDN, read book on health policy, re-read entire application, read online about UC, talked to my host about certain aspects of the school

What impressed you positively?

beautiful campus, nice neighborhood, seems like a very 'together' curriculum with interesting changes for next year (scholarship/discovery aspect especially). i think they give out a lot of financial aid also.

What impressed you negatively?

it seems like they ask a lot of their students, but if you are up to the challenge i think its a great place. i didn't like that the students that gave us the tour/ate lunch with us were on the admissions committee, i think they should have used other students.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

there would be lag time between activities during the day.

What are your general comments?

i talked with my faculty interviewer a lot about the changes in the curriculum concerning the Urban Health Initiative, and its implications on students. We also talked about the surrounding community of Hyde Park. my student interviewer and i talked about more general stuff re:campus, student life.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Make things shorter/scheduled closer together- there were 2x during the day where i waited 45 minute
