How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

8 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

looking at schools website, reviewing my primary/secondary, reading SDN

What impressed you positively?

The whole interview day (up until the interview) was very well structured and informative. I especially liked the student tour, which was 1 med student and 3 interviewees (very easy to ask questions)

What impressed you negatively?

the interview itself was rather uncomfortable, mainly because they just stared at me as I was answering questions and didn't offer any type of affirmation even a head nod while I was speaking. I just didn't really feel like they were "on my side" like I have in other interviews

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

great school, great program, but I felt very discouraged after the interview. I felt like I struggled, which was a bit disheartening (I'm usually pretty comfortable in interviews)

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
