How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, school website.

What impressed you positively?

Location! The hospital looks like a hotel. The sim lab was awesome. M2-4 housing was baller.

What impressed you negatively?

Dorms for M1s. Slight (very slight) pretentious air (although that might have been the interviewees, not the students!).

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That I would have one interviewer who deliberately tried to stress me out with rapid fire questions.

What are your general comments?

Wonderful school. Love the PBL emphasis. Didn't seem like the most nurturing kind of place, though... but that's not important to everyone.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
