✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

6 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

7 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Did mock interviews, looked at SDN, went over my file, wrote out points for common questions like why doctor, tell me about yourself and why us.

What impressed you positively?

It was very low stress and I did not feel like I was being judged.

What impressed you negatively?

Towards the end felt like I was on a time limit.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing, it was what I expected.

What are your general comments?

I can tell they try to make it seem casual to decrease the level of stress which was nice. I am unsure about timing since some comments on here said their interviews were longer than 30 minutes but prepare concise answers just in case.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Nothing, I loved how the emails they sent seemed to be controlled by an actual person as opposed to a mass email.
