How did you prepare for the interview?

No responses

What impressed you positively?

lecture halls are really nice

What impressed you negatively?

the tour was pretty boring, to be honest we saw the library and one lecture hall and the rest was just walking through hospital hallways. There really wasn't much point in the 45min. of walking around.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

One student interview and one faculty interview. Faculty interview was super laid back and I listen probably 75% of the time to the Doc. The student interviewer drilled me though. THe interviews are semi-closed with only the online essays and activities provided to the interviewer.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
