✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

looking at SDN, practicing generic interview prep questions, looking at their viewbook and website, looking in the news for their school, talking with a student prior to the interview

What impressed you positively?

Hands down--the intimacy within the school. Doctors and students all seem integrated and totally interested in pursuing various opportunities together. Almost every student I talked to had interesting research, travel or some other crazy opportunity totally backed by the school and worked into their curriculum. Also Barbara is amazing.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing really. Sometimes Brown undergrad students can be a little pompous with their 'ivy leagueness', but really the med school didn't have that vibe at all.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That this school is super laid back and to just relax because an interview is super indicative of an acceptance!

What are your general comments?

Excellent school--top of my list for sure.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

keep doing what you are doing
