How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN SDN SDN!!

What impressed you positively?

The curriculum was really cool! Definitely a lot of ways to customize your education with electives, etc. Plus the Scholarly Research project doesn't just have to be wet lab stuff.

What impressed you negatively?

The location -- the buildings are all basically tan and gray, really depressing-looking, especially on the outside. Also only 3 students turned up to the student lunch.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The school of medicine is on top of a hill with a really high incline!! And interview locations are all over the campus, not just in the same building.

What are your general comments?

No responses

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Interview locations are hard to find.
