How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read interview feedback on this site, read over my AMCAS and secondary apps, and practiced answering questions out loud.

What impressed you positively?

Very comfortable and helpful, noncompetitive environment. My student interviewer was very friendly. Orientation was very informative and very thorough.

What impressed you negatively?

My faculty interviewer (who I'm not sure was faculty or just an alum), though very friendly also, stared at me during the interview instead of interacting or responding in any way. It was distracting and felt unnatural, though he was kind enough to warn me beforehand.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That it was going to be so hot! I wore a fall weight suit and the air conditioning in one of the buildings was broken. I got lost on the way to my faculty interview so I wish I would have asked for specific directions. The building setups were confusing.

What are your general comments?

Overall, very good. There were only 10 of us interviewing, so it made for a nice size group. Lunch was tasty and everyone got to talk a little, which calmed all of our nerves. The chat with current students at the end was a nice end to the day. You're not being evaluated at that point, so you can relax and bring up any remaining questions you may have. An overall positive experience.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
