How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read school's web site, this site, and went over AMCAS.

What impressed you positively?

The university hospital in New Brunswick was very impressive. And many other clinical institutions were being built.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing really. My interviewer was fifteen minutes late because he was working-very understandable.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

There are two clinical campuses (New Brunswick and Camden) and you get to choose where you want to be.

What are your general comments?

The interview took place at the hospital, which is a couple miles from the pre-clinical classrooms on the Rutgers campus. It was a very relaxed atmosphere and my interviewer was refreshingly informal. It lasted about an hour then all of the students gathered for a video and info session with a rep from admissions. Then we broke off into smaller group tours with 4th year. The student was not there to evaluate us, so it was a chance to ask more candid questions. They also served us lunch (sandwiches) while the applicants chated with each other.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
