How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Mock Interview. Answered sample questions well in advance. Practice out loud with myself. Help from family. Read over AMCAS and essays written.

What impressed you positively?

How friendly everyone was. Cindy and the two interviewers were very helpful in providing information and answering questions.

What impressed you negatively?

I did not get a full tour of the school and the neighboring buildings. I was just given the description; it would have been nice to be given an official tour.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How laid-back the interview would be. I was freaking out beforehand, but the friendly atmosphere was encapsulating; then I felt comfortable.

What are your general comments?

Don't freak out. It's more like a conversation. Have fun and be yourself.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Awesome experience. Water provided. School info in folder and MUSOM blanket given to each applicant
