How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read SDN interview feedback, met with a faculty member to go over how to interview well, and read an article on the psychology of medical school interviews.

What impressed you positively?

I loved seeing how passionate the current students are about the school. Everyone seemed to be truly enjoying medical school rather than overly stressed or overwhelmed - even though I'm sure they were.

What impressed you negatively?

The interview day was not very well organized - our tour was not on time, and several speakers were unavailable to talk to us.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

There will be 8 people interviewing on your interview. The morning will start out with introductions from the admissions committee. They'll ask you questions during this time (and they take notes) - this might factor into your interview. Also you will be asked "do you have any questions?" about 100 times throughout the day, so bring plenty!

What are your general comments?

I loved the mostly stress-free environment created on my interview day. I'm very excited to go to school here!

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Provide resources for accepted students to get in contact with other accepted students in their acceptance packet!
