✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Reviewed my app.

What impressed you positively?

The friendliness of the students I interacted with.

What impressed you negatively?

I felt like I was on the stand and getting interrogated during my interview. One of them kept trying to get me to contradict myself. I hardly had time to speak with them because of the questions being fired at me. Not a pleasant experience at all like I've had at other schools. You have to put in extra curricular time if you want to dissect a cadaver? Every medical student should get that chance without having to give up study time.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The first year is crammed into one floor of a one building campus in the middle of nowhere.

What are your general comments?

The day was much too long. Way too many presentations of unnecessary info. for applicants. Typical interview days last about 4 hours with lounging time, this one was just over 6!

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

The interview day was very drawn out. It could have been reduced by at least 90 min.
