✅ 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?

Read SDN interview feedback, reviewed my notes from when I visited the school in the spring, reviewed practice interview questions I expected I might be asked.

What impressed you positively?

How the interviewer gave me the time to give very thorough answers before moving on to the next question. He had also read my file carefully before the interview, so he didn't need to waste time flipping through my application.

What impressed you negatively?

Since I was one of the last ones to interview, it was hard to stay sociable for so long in the waiting area, since I suspected the med school tour guides might evaluate us too. If you need a break to check your phone, excuse yourself to go to the bathroom.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Who my interviewer was and what time I would actually be interviewing.

What are your general comments?

UNE-COM is my favorite medical school I have interviewed at so far! I will almost definitely go here if I get in despite the high cost. The quality of academic instruction, student camaraderie, and beautiful campus totally make it worth it.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Liked the free UNE tote bag given to interviewees!
