No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Website! (as usual)

What impressed you positively?

That most students live on campus; the variety of clinical training sites; the facilities (brand new!); the campus is really beautiful

What impressed you negatively?

Dorms look very collegy, tour guides said they "never" went to class (literally), people didn't seem really pumped to be doctors, 2nd year curriculum has a lot of self-study which to me sounds like wasted tuition money; Valhalla really sucks

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Just how much down time there is (ugh)

What are your general comments?

A pretty mediocre school; the campus is nice but in the middle of nowhere, and there's no undergrad institution to add to the community. The interviewer seemed totally uninterested and said mm-hmm over and over, even in the middle of words (as if she wasn't listening)

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

No responses
