What impressed you positively?
School’s curriculum is structured in a 2 pass system. Healthy systems first year, unhealthy systems 2nd year. It helps their students prepare for boards and their board scores are pretty high.
What impressed you negatively?
They kept mentioning how they interview like 800 people but only accept 200 I don’t understand their process w that. Also they have an alternate system for this year’s admissions. Waitlisted students have priority for a seat in the class, alternates only have priority once waitlist is empty
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
They all have guideline questions which every interviewer will ask you. These two threw me:
Tell me about a time you learned from someone with a different background than yourself.
Tell me what empathy means to you and how you demonstrate it.
