How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

9 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, Yale website, asking my student host and his friends questions

What impressed you positively?

The happiness of the school environment really, the intense resources available for research, the association with an amazing university, the fact that it actually has one of the biggest combined hospital systems in the country (the total Yale-New Haven hospital system), the student hosting was a great experience (got to talk to a lot of students that way), the down time during the interview process allowed us to talk to the admissions dean and get a better idea of the school in general.

What impressed you negatively?

As a big city person, I'm still ambivalent about New Haven.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No real need to look up ACA stuff or ethical questions

What are your general comments?

Definitely one of my top choices at this point. Have to wait till March I guess!

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
