What are your comments on where you stayed?

It was a very nice place, especially for the price ($88 for 1 night as of 2/2/2023). The area was safe, well-lit, and ~7 minutes from UKCOM. I traveled alone but the bed was big enough for two, and I slept just fine. My main complaint is that they didn't have a microwave, iron for clothes, or kitchen in the room. They do have a gym area though close to the main lobby if you feel like going.

What impressed you positively?

Everyone I spoke to was amiable. The student panel reassured us that the school is a very collaborative one in which people are more than willing to help one another. One of my interviewers was a professor who said she's never had any concerns about a student because of their support network and robust curriculum.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I was under the impression that "two interviews" meant that Applicant A would go first followed by Applicant B, when in reality, it was all ~15 students went into separate rooms with their designated interviewers at the same time. We would then "swap" the interviewers, so basically there are 2 sets of 1/1 interviews by different people

Be yourself and arrive early to get parking and figure out where you need to go. You've got this, future doctor!
