How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read SDN, application, talked with others who interviewed there.

What impressed you positively?

The schools facilities are the nicest I've seen, there seems to an excess of funding.

What impressed you negatively?

Not to be racist, but the demographics of the first year class we attended definatly don't match the demographics of the state of Utah or even the application pool,I'm sure of that. Hooray for Affirmative Action and the U's attempts to diversify.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How little my chances of being accepted are because I'm not &quot;under-represented in medicine&quot;, also that they are going to verify EVERYTHING on my application before my final admission. I hope the person they call agrees I put in the same number of hours as I said on my primary and secondary applications. DON'T EXAGERATE

What are your general comments?

Remember to just be honest with the interviewers, they also give you the opportunity to fix any discrepancies in your application before it goes before the admissions committee. DON'T EXAGERATE the make sure everything is verified.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

None
