10 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

5 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

I read about healthcare, including the Affordable Care Act, but I wasn't asked anything about it by my interviewers. I also went over my application.

What impressed you positively?

My interviewers were very nice!

What impressed you negatively?

We had a chance to sit in during the medium group class, and the students really didn't seem too enthusiastic. When they had to get up to present something, most of the students weren't very good presenters. However, the professor seemed very helpful.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That their cancer center is very new.

What are your general comments?

Definitely the friendliest interviewers that I have had. I do know that other students have had less friendly student interviewers, so I guess I lucked out.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
