✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

7 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

I read articles online which gave possible lists of questions that could be asked in interviews. I also tried to come up with situations I've been in that could fulfill questions such as, "Tell me a time when you overcame adversity/helped someone/etc., ..."

What impressed you positively?

The interviewers, the regional campus' dean, a community physician, and a lecturer, were very kind and answered many questions that I had. The dean was also very honest about how difficult classes were and that many professors might try to put students "on the spot" which is stressful, but helps them learn material effectively. Also, I love the fact that I can choose among nine campuses, all of which have different benefits.

What impressed you negatively?

I'm from Indiana, and it truly is a fly-over state. I don't love living among nothing but cornfields and cattle, so of course, the location is not ideal.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing, it was very laid-back.
