✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

This website, talked to a physician, reviewed my application, read an article summarizing today's health policy (not crucial - just know very basics)

What impressed you positively?

The block exams - an exam covers all three classes of the semester into one long exam (3-6 hrs). But you have the week off to prepare for the exam. Nice gym too.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing - everyone was friendly including interviewers. No 'grilling' interviews though one asked many random questions (see above).

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

Good experience. I had an atypical experience since I wasnt asked typical interview questions. One interviewer asked me no more than 2 questions before going on a tangent about his frustrations with today's healthcare policy. Know that all three interviews (1 regional, 2 on-campus) are weighted equally. But other students I spoke with had typical questions that are on this website.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
