How did you prepare for the interview?
Thoroughly researched the school, its curriculum and military medicine. I spoke to physicians who graduated from the school and who are active duty service members in order to make sure that USUHS and military medicine was the choice for me.
What impressed you positively?
The facilities, the simulation center, the new integrated curriculum, the friendliness of the interviewers, students and administrators... pretty much everything!
What impressed you negatively?
So far, only positive impressions!
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
I did enough research to be prepared for the interview day. Wearing comfortable and appropriate shoes is a MUST since there is a lot of walking on interview day.
What are your general comments?
Excellent school, excellent program, excellent people, excellent mission! USUHS is top choice for those who are interested in being a physician who will serve our country.
What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
I absolutely give the staff and students 100% positive feedback. The only thing I can suggest is that in the given materials they state in bold font that we should not call to followup after interviewing. As an applicant I would appreciate a little more openness to having students followup on their applications. Yes, I understand that it is important for the office to protect their valuable time from us neurotic students who may call impatiently while we are waiting to hear responses hehe, but at the same time, after the student has been waiting long it is nice that they feel welcomed to pick up the phone and say Hello! to reiterate their interest in the program and to see how they are doing, without feeling they are breaking the "do not contact" rule. Keep up the encouragement to the students which was great! I can wait to be a part of USUHS!
