How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Researched the school, did mock interviews with friends, practiced answering lots of questions out loud and in my head; have a solid answer for "tell me about yourself", "why OSU" and "why medicine".

What impressed you positively?

Pretty much everything. The new James Cancer Center is amazing. The facilities are pretty and new. The curriculum sounds amazing. The interview day was very well organized and really sold the school to me.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing really!

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That the interview would be pretty relaxed and conversational, so you shouldn't stress. And your interviewer will see everything on your AMCAS except for your GPA and MCAT. They are blind to your "metrics" but know everything else.

What are your general comments?

One of my #1 choices.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
