How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

How did you prepare for the interview?

Reviewed my secondary application and read their website again

What impressed you positively?

I like that they are committed to keeping a small class size (64). You can tell that all the students get a lot of personal attention and that student involvement is a very important part of their curriculum. All the students have their own personal desk in the medical building and their is a lot of collaboration not only between the medical students but also with other graduate school departments.

What impressed you negatively?

They are not provisionally accredited yet, however, they said they are confident that this is not an issue.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing.

What are your general comments?

The whole interview day is very relaxed and conversational. Everyone I met there was very friendly and genuinely concerned with giving us as much information as possible to help us figure out if the school is a right fit.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
