How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

How did you prepare for the interview?

Interview feedback, knew application, relaxed.

What impressed you positively?

The other interview candidates were a lot of fun. We had a great time.

What impressed you negatively?

The cost is very expensive for a medical school. Also the curriculum is drastically different than most other schools, and it is difficult to judge how the students are doing because there are no residency matches available. They also put you in a room for an hour while you watch a video on financial aid and CHC's - which was not enjoyable.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

Seems like a good program, but is very expensive and you are taking a risk on this drastically different educational approach. The rotational sites were very undesirable for me and is a large reason why I will not be attending.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
