No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Spent time thinking about my life, strengths, weaknesses, experiences etc. Practiced answering sample questions (but no scripted answers). Read past interview feedback. Talked to friends who have had interviews.

What impressed you positively?

The school was GREAT! Very bright and sunny, lots of facilities, nice hospital, good location of University in Edmonton. The students on hand for questions and tours were great too.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Know yourself and your own motivations before you do too much studying about ethics, health care etc. I didn't get asked any real ethics scenarios, nor current events.

What are your general comments?

Not a walk in the park, but definitely a good experience overall. It wasn't too too stressful, and once we got to talking about things, I eased up quite a bit. There weren't any out of the blue questions, and I didn't get to tell any jokes, or tell them what kind of vegetable I would want to be, oh well, they were quite a serious bunch.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
