✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

8 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Practiced questions with my brother. SDN (Student doctor network)

What impressed you positively?

The facilities were new. The Dean is supposed to be really great. They have a cool program called clerkships during D4 where you are doing specialty type work. It is nice for those who want to specialize. About a third of Maryland's graduates go on to specialize!

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing about the school impressed me negatively. However, I can see it being a change for people who are used to open space. The University is right in the middle of the city.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That I should have got to know the other people who were interviewing better.

What are your general comments?

Maryland is a great school. It exceeded my high expectations of the school. Best of luck to everyone else:)

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
