How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

2 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Nothing.

What impressed you positively?

I liked their approach to anatomy.

What impressed you negatively?

Dress code, no food outside of cafeteria, no gym, PBL strikes me as a way to maximize profits rather than educate, students complained about clinical years, didn't feel like a medical school, something seemed off with the faculty.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

To save this interview for last. If this was my only option for medical school, I would have to really think if I wanted to go through with it. Student advisors let it slip that 12 students from the previous year quit.

What are your general comments?

This interview day was unnecessarily long. Sitting through a 2 hour PBL session was an overkill. The worst part of the day was when we had to sit around a table and tell why we liked PBL. Its unclear why tuition is 30K per year when students learn from each other and thru independent study.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Return phone calls and email promptly.
