How did you prepare for the interview?

No responses

What impressed you positively?

The curriculum is "extremely demanding" as they will tell you several times and there are a LOT more science courses and clinical hours than most schools, but it sounds like great preparation for the future (90% pass rate on the NBDE!) Everyone was friendly and welcoming and the campus was very nice.

What impressed you negatively?

I was the last of 7 students in my group to interview so I had to wait about 2 hours.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That I'd have to wait for a long time before my interview... I would have brought a book or something!

What are your general comments?

Great experience and great school.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
