✅ 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?

Looked over their website, my AACOM application and my UMDNJ Supplementary application

What impressed you positively?

The students who gave the tour were not trained tour guides, but they knew the school very well and had a lot of positive things to say. Because it is a small school, the Dean of Admissions knows all the students and often chats with students informally.

What impressed you negatively?

They are currently renovating many of their buildings, so the space was quite cramped, but this should be resolved once the construction is complete.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I didn't know too much about 'manipulation,' which the interviewer asked me about.

What are your general comments?

The interviewer was formal but not intimidating. This was a great first interview. The purpose of the interview is to find out more about you (ie: explanations for poor grades or low mcat scores) so that the interviewer can be your advocate during the Admissions Committee meeting.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
