Mock interviews, re-reading my application, going through the school's website to find specific info about the school

What impressed you positively?

The organization of the virtual interview day.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing really - just wish the faculty part of the interview was longer than 30 mins.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Who my interviewers were. You don't find this out until you open up the virtual interview link.

What are your general comments?

This school is so awesome and I think people don't give it enough credit for their interest in the holistic review of the applicant. It's not just about GPA and MCAT score here - I guess we'll find out exactly how much that matters when I get my admissions decision in a couple days!

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Honestly nothing - the admissions office gets back to you super quick through emails and also makes an admission decision by the end of the week you interview (this is SO nice!). I'm really hoping I get into this school because this is somewhere I want to attend being my first choice school so I hope I get that A!!!!
