What was the most difficult question?

What does integrity mean to you. Knowing not only the definition of the word but also how I personally define it was hard to do on the spot.

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

8 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Previous interviews, SDN, Friends who currently attending graduate school there

What impressed you positively?

They provided many resources to get more information and ask additional questions. They provided contacts for current students, the presenter (works within the college application and admission process) and faculty

What impressed you negatively?

Online interview. My friend got an interview for their dental school last month and it was in person

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

It was hard to get a good feel of the school without physically being there. Many programs have similar outcomes, success rates, etc and so presenting them after the virtual interview did not really help me figure out if this school is the best option for me

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

I know we are transitioning from pandemic times, but some programs offering in person interviews and others virtual is confusing and frustrating as I wished I had the opportunity for a traditional interview process
