How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

How did you prepare for the interview?

Student doctor network, practice with friends and previous interviews helped a lot too.

What impressed you positively?

The people are extremely genuine and nice. Even the staff and interviewers made sure you were comfortable and relaxed. The Dean came and spoke to us and he seemed like a real, caring and genuine person unlike others that I have encountered. The surrounding town is small, but charming. The surrounding environment is amazing if you love to hike, rock climb, white water raft...basically be outdoors. AND, rent is very cheap (or at least much cheaper than what I'm used to).

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing, it's just far from home for me. The school is great.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

Great experience, this was the least stressful interview I have ever been to. Just be yourself and you'll rock it.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Keep doing what you are doing :)
