No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

read website, read brochure, talked with best friend who is a first-year at the school, called the admissions office to talk with a student in a club that interested me.

What impressed you positively?

the hospital is amazing. honestly, it would be a friggin' treat to do my clinical years there. wow.

What impressed you negatively?

the place is boring. nothing to do. if you're a person of color, gay or anything else outside of the white, outdoorsey, chrunchy type...you will be bored and have a hard time finding people with similar interests/experiences.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

the brown/dartmouth program made the place that much more impressive and enticing. i couldn't do 4 years in hanover. but spending the first two years in hanover and then getting to go to providence (rated as the mose livable city in the US) for my clinical years....now that's a nice deal!

What are your general comments?

great interview. very nice people. my first interview was open file...the second one was closed file. in the first interview i had a great rapport with the guy because his son went to my undergraduate school. he kept saying how impressed he is with folks that come from "X" school. that definately helped. he asked what i'm doing now. and then he threw some ethical questions at me. no problem.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
