How did you prepare for the interview?

I read all the surveys at least three times over. I had the whole day set up in my mind and so everything was as expected. I practiced every day going through various practice questions.

What impressed you positively?

The students seemed geniunely happy with the choice. They were especially proud of their board scores and passing rate which were much above average. The new building is very nice and bright and yet not too large to be intimidating.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing really. I so desperately want to go to this school. It has everything I need to do well!

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing.

What are your general comments?

I love Finch and think its a wonderful school, definitely on the rise. The clinical experiences are unparalleled and there is no hidden agenda for primary care quotas. They want their students to do well and gain competitive residencies. Many of the professors help USMLE review books and this shows in their teaching. It is a primarily for teaching, not research.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
