How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read about the school, read about healthcare reform, practiced some answers out loud

What impressed you positively?

The entire campus is beautiful and very modern, new facilities and located in a great part of Baltimore, The campus is compact and easy to navigate to and from, they have a great match list (they give it to you at the interview) and great study and gym facilities. Lots of interdisciplinary collab between the professional schools, elective available early, unique take on clinical training in the first two years. If you're not afraid of living in a city there is a ton to do there

What impressed you negatively?

Not a thing about the actual school, some people seem hesitant or nervous about living in Baltimore but I never have felt unsafe there and none of the students I talked to seemed concerned about it. just common sense of living in a city

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I felt well prepared, was already familiar with the area but definitely look up the areas of town to avoid if you are taking public transit

What are your general comments?

Awesome school, amazing time interviewing here, I could picture myself going to school there the entire day.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Keep doing a great job of making interviewees feel excited and relaxed to interview here!
