✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

9 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

8 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Reading this forum and talking to current medical school students.

What impressed you positively?

The friendliness of the staff. Also, the girls were pretty good looking, I must say. The physician-interviewers were all very receptive and fun to talk to. Very down to earth as a school.

What impressed you negatively?

The library is really poor quality, in my opinion, and other student facilities are lacking. The Toledo area is also complete garbage. Nothing to do. Plus, my tour guide seemed to be one of those people who you just hate because they are so stubborn and self-righteous. Oh well.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Which states legally allow euthanasia.

What are your general comments?

Decent school with very down to earth people. The staff has recently had a lot of turnover. Coupled with an increase in applications, I can very reasonably see how there might be confusion within the admission's office. I had to ask multiple sources the same question in order to get a response that I trusted--not everybody is knowledgeable of all the programs and services offered at the school.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Everyone should be on the same page in terms of admissions policies and financial aid. I constantly received different answers from different people for the same question.
