No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read about the school online, went over my application

What impressed you positively?

The tour was nice and the students seemed very down to earth, i.e. not going into academics

What impressed you negatively?

Newark, my interviewer

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That my interviewer had forgotten my application summary at his house

What are your general comments?

After my interviewer assured me that he had read my application, he informed me that he had forgotten the summary he had written up of my application at his house. So he just winged the interview, asking very random questions, and not asking anything relevant to the study of medicine. He never asked me any of the following: what my family members do for a living, why I wanted to go into medicine, why I wanted to go to UMDNJ-NJMS.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
