How did you prepare for the interview?

Read these interview feedbacks, read the UMMS website, reviewed interview-prep materials my pre-med advisor sent me, read up on health care issues.

What impressed you positively?

The whole day was very laid back and they did a great job presenting as non-stressful an environment as possible. Students that I met were friendly and approachable. Lots of useful information.

What impressed you negatively?

I may have to wait until May to hear an acceptance decision.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing really, the day went really well.

What are your general comments?

There were 17 people who interviewed that day, but I was part of the afternoon group of which there were only 6 of us. So it was a bit crowded in the beginning, but it wasn't an issue. Very impressed with the school, they've got a lot of new buildings coming in the next 5 years or so. Thoroughly enjoyable first interview.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

No complaints thus far. All my questions have been answered promptly and cordially.
