What was the most interesting question?

Why did you choose your undergraduate school?

What was the most difficult question?

To explain a discrepancy between my MCAT score (high) and my GPA (acceptable, but nothing special). This was the first person to ask me that out of three different schools and 8 interviewers, and somewhat hard because I do not personally see a discrepancy in my stats!

Looked at this website, skimmed cnn.com/health...

What impressed you positively?

The Women's and Children's Hospital makes South seem like the place you want to be if you are interested in pursuing a career in a related field.

What impressed you negatively?

We were only shown the Women's and Children's Hospital... probably because it is South's biggest bragging right, but it kind of made me wonder about all the other hospitals... are they that bad? In addition, the biomedical sciences building on campus- where your spend your life for first and second year- is old, outdated, and a horrible place to spend two years of your life. The library isn't anything to write home about either.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That South uses a 1-10 rating system for applicants; I really don't see too much room for anything but applicants' stats to make or break them. Entirely too unfair, in my mind! There's more to people than numbers!

What are your general comments?

All in all... not bad. But not great either. I'll take it if it's the only place I get in though- anywhere is better than nowhere!

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
