How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Because it was a closed file interview, I expected to answer "Why do you want to be a doctor?" "Tell me about yourself." "Why this school?" etc I read all the information about the school on their website.

What impressed you positively?

The interview coordinator was extremely friendly and helpful.

What impressed you negatively?

I was expecting a more formal interview.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Although they did ask me some specific questions, one of my interviewers basically told me to just talk about whatever I wanted her to know or ask her questions. I was more prepared for her to ask me a list of questions.
