10 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

9 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

practice interviews with friends, career services (at my university), premed advisor, a science professor who had a professional background

What impressed you positively?

The genuine friendliness of my interviewer (she was one of the admissions dept. members)

What impressed you negatively?

absolutely nothing.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I asked a few of my practice interviewers to drill me, which was excellent preparation, but it was not necessary for this school!

What are your general comments?

Very well done. Dr. Winn's opening speech was lively, humorous, and educational. The day was long, but it was always interesting to listen to the speakers, med students, residents. The med students in my tour group chose CU out of other acceptance offers. They had no negative comments or weaknesses to offer regarding the program (despite the fact we all kept asking them!). They're building a new workout facility to be opened next year. A great example of how student feedback is taken seriously by the school.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
