How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

8 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Looked up healthcare issues in NM, youtube, and read interview books.

What impressed you positively?

LOVE the culture of New Mexico and how everything is synced to apple products. Almost everyone just carries around an iPad. Also, ALL lectures are digital.

What impressed you negatively?

Parking on campus looks awful. Also, I was kind of disappointed that UNM graduate and medical schools don't cross talk very much. It's like they're separated by a street and no one communicates across it very well.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

To come up with an answer about the best medical invention. There were just so many rushing through my head that I literally froze.

What are your general comments?

Love the school and the culture. Medical students seem very friendly and laid back. They all want to help each other succeed and it's not some big huge cut throat competition. It seems as though the students still have personal lives and can have fun which was comforting.
