Report Response | I was asked this too

We [the admissions committee] can judge students' aptitude for the "science" of medicine by the courses they take in college. It is more difficult to judge students' aptitude for the "art" of medicine. What is the "art" of medicine and how does one judge a student's aptitude for the "art" of medicine?

Every one seemed quite happy at the school.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

The scheduled tours of the hopsitals were cancelled. Though there was a tour of the ER at the last moment, I was not able to see the Children's Hospital. The lunch was even late. There were only two major lecture halls. There was no gym. The campus was small overall.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish I knew that I would have to wait 2 hours before my interview. I was scheduled in the last block of interviews and since the day ran late, I was literally the last one out.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

The day started at 10AM. First, we had a presentation on standardized patients with two demonstrations. Then, we were supposed to have tours of the hospitals, but those were cancelled. We spent almost an hour just chatting amongst ourselves. We then had student tours of the facilities. We met with the Dean and had the financial aid talk. We were supposed to have lunch with the Dean, but the food never arrived. A last minute tour of the ER was arranged. Afterwards, we ate delivered pizza in a small humid class room. The first interviews were scheduled to start at 2, but we were running late. I had the last interview time. It was the 2 hour wait that stressed me out most, though the interview itself was fine. My day didn't end until 5PM.
