8 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

8 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Studied my personal statement, primary, and secondary. I read the healthcare handbook by Askin and Moore and can say that it helped so so much with my understanding of healthcare and with my ACA question which they told me I blew them away with my knowledge.

What impressed you positively?

They knew my application so the answers were tailored to me. This made answering them so EASY!

What impressed you negatively?

Having three interviewers meant that questions kept coming which was sometimes a little overwhelming.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That it was going to be very low stress and a lot of fun.

What are your general comments?

Smile, relax, and have fun. They already know you are a good student and don't want to hear about your grades. They want to know that you are a person, that you can interact with others, and that you are going to fit well in their school.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
