How did you prepare for the interview?

UMass web site, this site, tried to find info on primary care on the web

What impressed you positively?

Student input on everything is take very seriously and acted on.

What impressed you negatively?

Class doesn't seem that diverse, Worcester isn't as urban as I would like, but not as bad as I thought it would be.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How stress-free and relaxed the interviews would be. The interviewers were more concerned with learning about me than seeing how I would react under pressure. I also learned that the majority of UMass' funding does not come from the state, so don't be afraid of Romney's budget cuts!

What are your general comments?

I was pleasantly surprised with the school. I already thought it was a good school, but the interview day increased that feeling. Everyone seems very committed to UMass having the greatest positive effect possible in local healthcare and beyond. Friendly atmosphere.
