What are your general comments?
This school interviews tons of applicants and has obviously put the day into a sort of fast throughput process that makes one feel like part of a herd. That said, guys the school is much much more than the interview day and I'm sure there is amazing things happening here. Unfortunately, I was very off-put by the day.
💬 Interview Process
How did you prepare for the interview?
Sdn, reread application.
What impressed you positively?
The current students were very laidback while collegiate.
What impressed you negatively?
The whole day basically. The tour the med student wouldnt take us through any classrooms or the library because "we are loud applicants." We had no overview of the curriculum and didnt meet the dean or associate dean or really any instructor.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
That I would be walking 5+ blocks alone trying to locate my interviewer alone and getting lost. Wish I was given the location pre-interview.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
Please decrease the amount of applicants and focus on making the interview days more meaningful with better oversight, introduction to the school, an actual tour of facilities (not just from the glass looking in), and more members of the admission committee present or even saying hello. Some applicants travel hours and spend money on costly flights.
