How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

6 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read SDN, mock interviews,

What impressed you positively?

Clinical Rotation, Societies (Class is broken up in groups so it doesn't feel as huge)

What impressed you negatively?

Curriculum is getting changed and most of the faculty has idea what is getting changed.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

There is a second mini-interview. They put 4 applicants together with a harvey mannequin. Give everyone stethoscopes and examine the patient's heart, lungs, bowels. Mostly I feel like it was trying to determine who played well with others.

What are your general comments?

Great Experience overall and really hopeful to attend this school in the upcoming year.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

They are harder to communicate with early in the interview process (June/July). Understandably due to high demand. Give these wonderful people more help.
