How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

I went over some typical interview questions. It was completely unnecessary, though, because we just sat around and talked about my AMCAS.

What impressed you positively?

Everyone love this school. I am not kidding. This includes students, faculty, and staff.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing except a few of the other interviewees. They were a bit snotty. That doesn't count, though, since we're talking about the school. Okay, they don't have much patient contact in first year, but traditional curriculum doesn't bother me.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish I had spent more time to tour the facilities. They give a tour, but it's so quick...

What are your general comments?

Wonderful. I love the school, and it speaks volumes that all the students really seem to love the school and that they're not competitive at all. They have a wonderful 2nd-1st year mentor program and the class seems very close.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
