How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

How did you prepare for the interview?

Just relax! Know your AMCAS and be ready to walk!

What impressed you positively?

The integrated curriculum sounds like a get fit for me. Also, they decide on your acceptance/waitlist/rejection status the day you interview and post your outcome the next day to the website.

What impressed you negatively?

Obv. it was a cold day (not as cold as those of you who interviewed in Dec or Jan.) but, I didn't like having to carry my coat the whole tour so that we could go outside to walk across campus.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Pop 10 minute essay at "lunch" where they let other med students come in, be loud, move furniture, sit down and eat while you're writing. It's hard to fill the page in 10 min's with all these distractions.

What are your general comments?

I love UB. I'm from UB for undergrad and I'm excited to go here for med school. Praying I get in!

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Give us more food!
