How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN and a list of top 100 interview questions from CU-Boulder's undergrad premed web site. Read over primary and secondary, and make sure you do too!!! That's mostly what they asked.

What impressed you positively?

The gorgeous medical campus. The student atmosphere. The staff. :D

What impressed you negatively?

It's in Aurora, but close enough to Denver that it's not really a negative. They don't have a gym, but are building one to be usable in 2 years.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I think I prepped enough. They just want to get to know you--don't stress too much about it.

What are your general comments?

I loved CU and the interview was almost exclusively questions from my primary and secondary. Just know that well and you're solid.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
