How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Looked through the Student Doctor Network feedback and interview prep articles. Practiced answering questions with friends.

What impressed you positively?

The friendliness and approachability of the faculty. The facilities were also top notch and very high tech. Another thing was the innovative curriculum of the school (1 year at ATSU, and 3 years at clinical sites around the nation).

What impressed you negatively?

No COMLEX II board scores yet.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I would get my acceptance call at the latest time on the last day they said they would let us know. ( I got the phone call at 4:40pm on the last day of the 4th week after my interview... they said they would let us know in 3-4 weeks).

What are your general comments?

The school seems to have a very family/community feel, which really appeals to me. All staff and faculty members seem very dedicated to each student's success. The social on the night before the interview was a great way to get to know the other candidates and interview panel and to lower the anxiety.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
