How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

8 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

I went over my AMCAS, secondary app, also did thorough research of the school.

What impressed you positively?

The integrated curriculum looks amazing.

What impressed you negatively?

My interviewer didn't seem to want to meet with me.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That not all the interviewers are low stress.

What are your general comments?

I did not like my interviewer, he ahd me go through my entire application and didn't leave room for discussion. Because of this I did not feel like he wanted to know me and my goals in hoping for an acceptance to medical school, instead it seemed like he just wanted to know what I had done. (which is already on my app)

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Have the current medical students give a tour, also make sure to introduce who is speaking.
