No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

re-read and outlined personal statements, read abstracts in recent medical ethics journals, SDN Interview Feedback

What impressed you positively?

The amazing facilities for primary care. The brand new buildings. The playful student community (on the tour, walked into an unused lectured hall to find gamers playing mario kart on the projection screen)

What impressed you negatively?

the financial aid seems lacking

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

the schedule is presentations until 10:00. Then the two sequential interviews with either faculty or student; one-on-one, who have studied your personal statements but know nothing else. Then lunch and tour with current MSI's.

What are your general comments?

Almost all the questions were derived from my personal statements...have those memorized and be able to defend/discuss every phrase. Also, my interviewers were obviously hand picked to match my application (I applied to the rural track and my first interviewer was Mark Deutchman, director of the track). They are scheduled to be 30 minute interviews each, but they allow for 1 hour each, so no need to watch the clock. Travel time was long because of a snowstorm, which made many people late.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
