What impressed you positively?

The campus and facilities were nice.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

During my interview, I asked the interviewers what they would change about the school. The physician responded that when he gets the students for their rotations in their third year, that the students don't even know how to do a physical. With that comment, I was sure to ask on the tour when you see your first patient. The answer: in the third year. Also, many of the current students were not friendly at all, boardering on rude.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

See negative comments. It was super cold!

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

The actual interview was quite stressful, however the other group of canidates felt the opposite. I was asked many ethical questions. I felt good about my interview, but as soon as I found out about the lack patient care experience in the first two years (see negative comments) I was turned off. I felt misled by the info from the website on their top notch clinical program. There was a lot of down time (over 2 hours) in the morning, so bring a book or something to do. The campus was really nice and had state of the art facilites. The student tour was o.k., but the student tour guides were not very helpful. It felt to me like these interviews were a burden to the school. I think I would have much different feelings about the school if seeing patients wasn't so high on my priority list. I will not attend if I am accepted.
