How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read through the school curriculum (which they email you), thought about possible interview questions, didn't stress too much.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

The BMP curriculum. I went into the interview with a negative-leaning opinion of it and came out with a largely positive view of it and with a strong desire to want to attend the school. Also, the M2's who gave the tour were extremely friendly and helpful.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

The facilities, though new (they've recently moved into a new building in Savannah) feel a bit disconnected. The individual study/classrooms are nice though. The Dean also said they are hoping to start construction on a new med school building in the next 4 years.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Not much - it was very relaxed and well organized. I was surprised to learn that, though the average grades/scores of incoming students may be a bit lower than other schools, their board scores are well above average - shows that the curriculum seems to be very effective!
