✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN! lots of mock interviews with friends and family, Brody SOM website, primary and secondary applications, a good night's sleep

What impressed you positively?

The students and faculty were so friendly! There also seemed to be a true sense of community at Brody, especially amongst students in your class. There are tons of service opportunities at local free health clinics that seem to give BSOM students a leg up when it comes to early patient interactions.

What impressed you negatively?

Greenville seems to be a bit boring. I tried to find some places to hang out off campus, but couldn't. I won't have much down time during med school anyway, but a little excitement in the town would be nice.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

There were some long breaks before interviews and between interviews--bring a book or interview notes to keep you occupied.

What are your general comments?

The interviews were super laid back and conversational--a lot less stressful than I imagined. Overall, I was far more impressed by Brody than I thought I would be. Because I am interested in primary care and working with the underserved, it is an excellent match for me. It jumped from the middle of my list to right at the top.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
