What was the most difficult question?

Honestly, both interviews were more conversations than interrogations. I was immediately put at ease - I didn't feel like they were trying to trap me or challenge my knowledge or interest in the medical field. They were simply genuinely interested in knowing more about me and my experiences. It was easy to talk about.

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Reviewed personal statement, read up on current events in medicine, browsed through school's website.

What impressed you positively?

Very nice facilities; absurdly cheap housing; happy, positive students, who seemed very tight knit and collaborative; supportive administration; opportunities for studying abroad.

What impressed you negatively?

kinda far from the subway - although that might just be because I was spoiled being only two blocks from the subway when I lived in NYC before.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That the interview would be so laid back. I spent far too much unnecessary time preparing for it.

What are your general comments?

Really liked the school, despite the fact that it was pouring rain all morning.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
