How did you prepare for the interview?

I just read this site.

What impressed you positively?

The students seemed to be fairly happy here though this was not the first choice school for the vast majority of them. In fact, many of them chose UL because it was the only school that they got into. I just hope that their being happy was not an act.

What impressed you negatively?

I heard a lot of students gripe about not getting in to UK. I also thought that the director of admissions was rather rude. This does not sell the school very well.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The area is very ghetto and that most students would not have picked Louisville as their first choice school.

What are your general comments?

It was okay. I could have done without the condescending attitude of the director of admissions. What some of the other posters said is true. A lot of white applicants were turned down without an interview because of their MCAT score.Many of these were my classmates and many are excellent students otherwise. I asked if this was true to the student conducting the tour. They told me that they are on the admissions committee and that the adcom will not interview white applicants with low scores, but will interview any minority applicant that applies. Talk about reverse discrimination! I don't want to go to school in that kind of environment. If they discriminate on that, what else do they discriminate on? That is something to think about. I am afraid that the school will be hit with a reverse discrimination suit in the future and that it will not bode well with residency directors later on. I chose UK.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
