No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read through materials and website, reviewed my application, mock interviewed.

What impressed you positively?

Students were *very* enthusiastic about the school and pretty laid back. The basic sciences are strictly pass/fail. The facilities are brand new and very user friendly.

What impressed you negatively?

One of my interviews was at the absolute opposite end of the hospital and it was really easy to get lost.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

More details about Rochester's double helix curriculum.

What are your general comments?

The interviewers were very friendly, but some of the questions were random and in one, we spent most of the interview on what seemed like a completely unrelated subject, so it's difficult for me to gauge how I did.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
