What are your general comments?
I really liked the school (definitely my first choice). There's really nothing to worry about. The interview was pretty laid back & kinda fun. Just read your secondary and AADSAS application... be genuine, confident, sincere, and at ease. A bit on the expensive side. They interview around 400 people for 100 seats (the class size should increase as time goes on). The first 60 seats are given before Dec. 1, and the remaining 40 after that.
💬 Interview Process
How did you prepare for the interview?
Know your AADSAS and Secondary application, really well. And keep up with current events (for the essay).
What was the most difficult question?
It was pretty laid back, so the questions weren't too difficult.
What impressed you positively?
Where they are heading with technology. They'll have brand new clinics. The community service opportunities. The campus is really nice and should be expanding over the coming years. The weather is awesome. And the fact that the faculty was pretty straight forward about their current progress.
What impressed you negatively?
Nothing really. Some people say that there is a high school feel to it, which isn't a bad thing. I had gone to a small university near Chicago, which was pretty much the same, so i felt right at home. They send you a DVD before the interview, so there aren't any surprises :)
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
It is really hot there! But, they're pretty cool about taking off your blazer and loosing the tie up a bit. And if you wear a turban, then go for a lighter shade :)
