✅ 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?

I re-read my AMCAS and secondary application.

What impressed you positively?

The admissions staff is extremely nice and sensitive to the fact that we were nervous about the MMI format.

What impressed you negatively?

OHSU does not grant you in-state tuition after you successfully switch state residency to Oregon. Your residency status (to them) stays the same as it was when you were admitted.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

MMI is not that bad. There's not enough time to be stressed between interviews and it goes by really fast.

What are your general comments?

It was as pleasant of an experience as any interview could be.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
