What are your general comments?

This was my second time at ECU. Last year, I didn't accept me because they didn't feel that I'd stay in North Carolina just because I went to undergraduate somewhere else. So this time, I was hoping that they wouldn't pick on me abt where I spent my undergraduate years that much. I hope that they realize how much I am dedicated to stay in the state of NC. My interviewers were a professor and a 3rd year medical student. I wish that I had gotten a chance to meet Dr. James Peden at the end of my visit but he was busy.
💬 Interview Process

Why Brody?

Relax and know about Brody...

What was the most difficult question?

From your medical experience, tell me a great moment that you had with medicine.

What impressed you positively?

The students are so happy. Plus, the school provides them with great facilities to study...the curriculum has a nice balance between textbooks and clinical. And yes, the school is focused on primary care but it is also advanced in other area as well. It was the first place to have robotic heart surgery. I can totally see myself being at Brody.

What impressed you negatively?

nothing. Most people would say Greenville. But hey, you are going to be studying in medical school. So who cares if Greenville has nothing to do?
