What impressed you positively?

The amazing facilities, the solid reputation, the students all seemed very happy to be there and were excited about their future careers as Doctors.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

They stoic and stern interview where each member of the panel asked fair but difficult questions and then continued to ask "and if that doesnt" work to each question with no emotional feedback from them. This made me feel unwanted, that they did not care to get to know me and it was a firing line to gain admission.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That my interview panel was very stern. All three people who had my panel felt very strongly that it was a massive negative mark to feel so unwanted. Other panels seemed to give much less of a grilling type of interview.
