How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Researched the various health care bills, state of underserved/rural areas, state of the primary care shortage.

What impressed you positively?

Lots of time to interact with the M2s and ask them questions. The M2s were very candid about their thoughts. The tablets seem to be awesome..

What impressed you negatively?

The stress level was a bit high on my first interview, but I was stumped by the 2 'difficult questions' listed below. Can't blame them for that.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

There was no need to go so deep into researching health policy, the questions asked were fairly general.

What are your general comments?

First interview is with the member of the adcom who will be presenting your file to the rest of the committee, so you want to be warmed up and ready for that one. I did much better in the second interview - should've been more prepared for the first.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
