How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Studentdoctor.net was the best tool... the questions about "what do you do for fun?" etc. were very accurate for one of my interviews. I almost knew the question before they asked it.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

SIM LAB! It's an amazing tool for training doctors and not all schools have it. They also use standardized patients as a training tool. My interviewers were great and made the environment fairly low stress, and one even joked around with me a bunch. There are also a LARGE variety of research opportunities, but they don't advertise them all that well online. Also, the students are great in that they aren't cut-throat competitive, but instead work as a team to learn.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

They only give 6 weeks of study time for the Step 1. I know that's average, but some schools give more time. I also wasn't a fan of walking all over campus to find the interview rooms.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That I needed to walk inside to get a parking pass. I was worried I needed to print it ahead of time, but it wasn't discussed in the email.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

It's a great school, and visiting it made it go up on my list. I would definitely consider matriculating here because the atmosphere is great, the technology for teaching is amazing, and they teach using the systems method (discuss one system and all components of it at once) instead of individualized classes that aren't directly connected.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

My check in time was an entire hour before I was scheduled to start orientation. Maybe recommend only a half an hour before because an hour was a long time to sit and do nothing. Also, warn us in the email about parking passes because I was worried I did not print mine from the email or something.
