How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Talked to friends of mine at University of Maryland and asked what kinds of questions they had at their interviews. Read SDN forums and internet feedback. I practiced a few questions and had a few friends question me but I really didn't want to spend too much time rehearsing. I felt my answers would be more genuine and authentic if I did not rehears them beforehand.

What impressed you positively?

Pretty much everything, everyone was so nice and genuine, I didnt feel like they were trying to sell the school to me because they didnt have to. Everything was just so great. The hospital was state of the art, the students were awesome Dr. Foxwell seems like an awesome guy.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing really

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I just wish I knew before 8:40 if my first interview was at 9 am or 2 pm...(it was at 9 btw)

What are your general comments?

Great school. If you are stressed about this interview don't be. It was very conversational and both of my interviewers were super nice. I never felt like they were trying to grill me, they were pretty much just trying to get to know me as a person.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

I wish that I had known if I had a morning or afternoon interview prior to arriving at the admission
