How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

6 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN feedback, mock interview

What impressed you positively?

Great match list, rotations are all local, early clinical exposure, students seemed happy

What impressed you negatively?

Interviewers wanted to concentrate on research over any other ECs and I felt I didn't get a chance to represent myself accurately. Lack of windows.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Should have gone over every aspect of my app in detail and wish I had practiced defending myself in stress interview format

What are your general comments?

This is a stress interview! I was put on the defensive right off the bat and did not get many softball questions, be prepared for some pressure and be ready to advocate for your strong points. KNOW YOUR APP

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Would have liked to know how many seats were left/if we were interviewing for the waitlist exclusively. Maybe don't pair 2 faculty from the same dept for interviews as they tend to focus on the same areas.
