How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN interview feedback, reread personal statement and secondary essay, read the schools website.

What impressed you positively?

established program, great opportunities for clinical rotations, no dress code, lectures available as mp3's, loads of international opportunities, affiliation with a big state university, tons of research, great location, niceness of everyone I met, amazingly quick turnaround on admissions decision; interview on Friday, decision by Monday morning; only 100 dollar deposit to hold a seat.

What impressed you negatively?

I found very little not to like here

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How great the school was. It became my first choice after visiting.

What are your general comments?

It's a long interview day, but low stress overall. There's 3 separate one on one interviews and they do make you put on a white coat for a photograph, which seemed like a bit of a tease. Still, this is a great school. I felt very much at home here and there are lots of opportunities to shape your medical education however you wish.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

None really. The interview day is fairly long, but I still stayed late for an OMM demo.
