No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, read website, reviewed personal statement.

What impressed you positively?

The facilities were very nice, as were the people. I like that facilities are shared with the med students, and that Scholl has inter-disciplinary health professional teams. I was really impressed by the state-of-the-art technology that the school used in instruction (slides scanned in, complete dissection videos)

What impressed you negatively?

It was freezingly cold!

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That med students were interviewing at the same time.

What are your general comments?

Mandy, the recruiting director, was wonderful; very nice and approachable. Everyone from the staff to the doctors to the students were very friendly and approachable. My interviewer seemed somewhat intimidating, but he put me at ease during the interview. Just be friendly and be yourself and you'll do fine.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
