✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

10 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, MSAR, nytimes.com for the current events of the health insurance debacle, my AMCAS application.

What impressed you positively?

The facilities look refurbished, clinical experience possible starting in the 1st year, housing close to the school.

What impressed you negatively?

The &quot;beautiful&quot; city of Newark.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That parking and traffic wouldn't be too bad. That my interviewer didn't ask me about any details of the U.S health care system, or any h.c. system for that matter.

What are your general comments?

I've read people's experience here in past interviews. From what I saw, they really listened to the interviewees comments and fixed some things to make the day somewhat more structured, and the tour covered the interesting areas like the E.R. and the anatomy lab.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

None really. The process was pretty smooth.
