How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN reviews, mock interviews with faculty at my college, read up on current events, and reviewed my application

What impressed you positively?

The enthusiasm of the students and faculty I met about their school and the close-knit community they have there.

What impressed you negatively?

The super long information session in the morning. It was a lot of information that I'd heard before, and a lot would only be pertinent to students who were accepted. Why spend so much time on this type of information when we're all sittin around completely nervous. The tour was not as thorough as other schools I've been to. Additionally, they kept talking about the new teaching hospital that wouldn't be ready before I graduated. Kind of a disappointment.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I felt pretty well prepared for this interview, so I'm not sure there's anything I felt I didn't know.
