How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Went through SDN interview questions and made talking points about questions I thought were most relevant & looked up info on the school as well as healthcare reform & other issues in medicine

What impressed you positively?

The friendliness of the admissions staff, medical students, and interviewers

What impressed you negatively?

The HEAT. It was extremely hot and my interviews required me to walk to different buildings on campus. So make sure you hit the bathroom to freshen up before you walk in for an interview if you've been walking around.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Not to worry about the interviews, it was an absolutely stress free, impressive day!

What are your general comments?

MUSC is a great school and the interview day was fantastic. The interviewers simply wanted to know who I am outside of my application rather than grilling me with really hard questions. Each one of them were very friendly and personable.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

It was a perfect day, nothing needs to be changed.
