How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

7 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Reviewed AMCAS application, secondary information, and read up on the website.

What impressed you positively?

The interviews were EXTREMELY relaxed. They really just want to know if you are a good fit for their school. They already know you can do the work if you got an interview.

What impressed you negatively?

The focus on primary care was not really my thing. I also heard that their rural care tract is not as good as they make it out to be.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

Excellent interview day. Everyone there was cool as can be. Do not get suckered into the rural tract program. While it doesn't cost any extra it's just not worth it.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
