✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read the website, reviewed my own application thoroughly (this was important. both interviewers basically had annotated copies of my application, and asked very specific clarifying questions about it)

What impressed you positively?

There is a strong emphasis on collegiality and caring for medical students well. All the students seem very chill and get along with each other well. I heard a lot about how student feedback is taken seriously.

What impressed you negatively?

Their research opportunities seems somewhat lacking.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The patient presentation is REALLY important. Both interviewers asked me to talk about my impressions of it, if I remembered the patient's name, etc. I think it's how they evaluate how patient/person-centered you are.

What are your general comments?

I was not expecting to love this school, and I absolutely did. It is now ranked WAY higher on my list than it was before the interview.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
