How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

How did you prepare for the interview?

Practiced with med students/doctors.

What impressed you positively?

I'm from the area and I went to UofT and I already love it so nothing really affected me positively or negatively.

What impressed you negatively?

No responses

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish I had prepared in more detail. Once we were granted interviews, the admissions lady told is no way of really preparing, just be yourself.. I more or less did that, except I reviewed my essay and sketch and did a few mocks, but I never memorized anything and I found myself rambling sometimes because I didn't have a coherent sentence to articulate..

What are your general comments?

Just remember, the interview is worth only 20%, so if you have a high GPA, just don't say anything that'll get you flagged and you'll be fine.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
