How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

read current events, went over my application, read student doctor

What impressed you positively?

The environment, the campus, the students. It's an atmosphere that I can picture myself in.

What impressed you negatively?

I stayed a lot longer than I needed to because the letter was misleading

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

If you have an 8am interview, you'll be done by noon. I stayed there for 8 hours because the letter said try to say as long as possible as there are other events going on during the afternoon. All you really need is one hour writing, one hour interview, probably 1-2 hours for their workshop/tours and that's it. You should book an early afternoon flight.

What are your general comments?

Overall, I was expecting a lot of situational questions but I think that depends on your interviewer. I had a pharmacoeconomics professor so I didn't get many situational questions (which I prepared for). Instead, there were more personal than situational.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
