✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

7 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

9 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Went over my primary AMCAS materials, which is literally all we talked about.

What impressed you positively?

The interviewer was genuinely interested in what I had to say and was very nice. I also was able to sit in on a class because my interview time had to be changed due to a family emergency. It was great to see what going there would be like. If you have time after/before an interview I highly recommend asking if this is an option.

What impressed you negatively?

The lecture rooms are very dismal (no windows and older). Seemed a bit gloomy.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Don't be super nervous about this one. It is incredibly laid back and just a conversation about your primary materials.

What are your general comments?

Great interview experience overall.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Go paperless for secondary fees! Nearly every other school has an online payment system. Seemed a bit archaic to have to snail mail them.
