How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read through all the SDN interview questions. Researched UMD's website and articles. Looked up Health Care info. Talked with current students. Relaxed.

What impressed you positively?

The class schedule (8a-12p) everyday. Diverse yet impressive matches.

What impressed you negatively?

No elective 3rd year.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That my first interview was going to be 60+ mins and my 2nd one 4 questions.

What are your general comments?

Loved UMD. You would have thought that Hopkins and UMD were switched due to all of the new facilities and equipment at UMD (most buildings are only 3 yrs old). Foxwell is the man. They give you a computer (well actually you pay for it with your tuition) that you take all the tests on (simulate USMLE) and notes along with taped lectures are uploaded to it. GO TERPS!
