How did you prepare for the interview?

Reviewed my application and some information about health policy.

What impressed you positively?

Both the faculty and student interviewers were nice. All the students at the school were kind and enthusiastic.

What impressed you negatively?

I was not impressed with the school's facilities or with the information that we were given regarding research opportunities.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

This is a very large school. For a class of 270, they interview about 800 people. If you receive an interview here, you have a fair opportunity of being admitted.

What are your general comments?

No responses

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

The entire interview day is student run. The school itself needs to coordinate the interview day, as I found it to be somewhat disorganized and was not able to hear about or see everything that I wanted to. There were 30 people on our interview day because the students only have one day per week that they can arrange and hold interview day. A group that size is simply too large for everyone to be able to ask questions.
