10 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

9 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read SDN, ate a hamburger for dinner the night before, and watched funny Youtube videos to calm myself down. Also read over my AMCAS and previous publications.

What impressed you positively?

Everything. The students were so friendly, happy, and well rounded. Facilities were great, the simulation even had a delivery simulator! Faculty seemed extremely supportive of students and very committed to building the next generation of physicians.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing. Parts of New Orleans are run down, so that was sad, but the students are quite involved in rebuilding houses for the local population (on weekends), which I thought was really awesome.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That interview shoes are a real drag to walk in.

What are your general comments?

After the interview day, this is my first choice school. I absolutely loved it and it would be a fantastic place to study medicine.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Keep doing exactly what you're doing.
