How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

7 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Looked over AADSAS application, UCONN website, read a book on interviewing skills

What impressed you positively?

PBL curriculum, pass/fail system, overlapping courses with medical students the first two years

What impressed you negatively?

Farmington is a small town, smaller than I am used to; however, it is not too far from Boston or New York. Also, the interview seemed to be conducted in a good cop/bad cop manner in which one of the interviewers seemed very friendly while the other one was pretty stoic. I don't know if that was on purpose.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That the interview activities started at 9:00 instead of at 8:00.
