✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

10 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

I did not prepare ahead of time.

What impressed you positively?

The facilities, the faculty, the seemingly polished process considering it was the first interview session of only the second interview season. Students will not be allowed to skip OMM Lab because of religious views.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing in particular stood out in this respect.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

There is nothing that comes to mind that would have helped me had I know it ahead of time.

What are your general comments?

Perhaps the best part of the interview process is that it seems particularly concerned with the individual as a whole, and not just their academic prowess. Rightfully so, GPA and MCAT can be screened ahead of time, so quizzing on minutia during an interview seems rather pointless. Getting a few for a candidates personality and drive is a much more important piece of the puzzle in my opinion, and this interview focused on that.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
