✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

7 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

6 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

mock interviews & read through Interview Feedback, school website, my own AMCAS

What impressed you positively?

The children's hospital is pretty neat, and my interviewer was a really interesting guy. The two tour guides were also a nice sample of the student body (not identical people, and pretty open). The anatomy lab is also new and very light and airy, which was a bonus.

What impressed you negatively?

I was a little disappointed by how traditional the curriculum was, but it obviously works!

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

that my interview was a bit of a trek (at least in heels) from the admissions office

What are your general comments?

Though I felt like I had to fill the interviewer in on a lot since they only really had a list of our activities and our AMCAS essay, the interview still turned conversational pretty quickly and it was very enjoyable. In general, everything left me with a positive impression except for how small (and quiet) Valhalla was and how blah my student host was.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

It would've been nice to have more hospital in the student tour, though we did have time to explore on our own.
