✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Review my application and practice MMI questions. Not a lot of straight up ethical questions but there were behavioral questions.

What impressed you positively?

They are truly committed to diversity and serving at-need populations. They also are very transparent about the interview process and want applicants and their medical students to suceed.

What impressed you negatively?

The student-led pre-reception did not impress me. I felt it was a little disorganized and lacking gusto.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

To RELAX because the MMI questions weren't all that bad and mainly depended on being yourself.

What are your general comments?

I was overall impressed by the school. Tucson is not for everyone, and I think they look for a specific fit (which is why a lot of OOS get interview waitlisted). They are integrating a new research program into their curriculum. Also, their distinction tracts prepare you to be competitive for residency applications.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Nothing, they have been very receptive and friendly.
