How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

1 or 2 mock interviews with admissions counselors that I knew. I read the first section of the Wall Street Journal the 5 business days before the interview. Reviewed the website and asked anyone I knew that was related to the school questions.

What impressed you positively?

Strong clinical exposure from 1st day of class. Student run clinic.

What impressed you negatively?

High volume of traffic and very few parking spots in student parking area. It seems secure parking is at a premium.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing.

What are your general comments?

My interview was first. It was 1-on-1 with an admissions committee member. Afterwhich there was lunch with 2nd, 3rd and 4th years. We had cold pizza. I think I even had to what for the ice to melt so I could get something to drink. There were not enough beverages for everyone in attendance. However, there was very good discussion about school and life of medical students. The tour was given by 2 1st year students. It was a very informative and fun tour. We went everywhere. AFter the tour the guides gave us their business cards and we had to fill out a survey about the tour. It all took about 3 hours.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
