"I did several mock interviews, checked this website (not too many people have reviewed UND, unfortunately), I've done a couple 'real life' interviews already, which helped immensely. I talked with students at the school about it and why I would like being there." Report Response
"The interview was the most thorough interview I've had to date. I was not given a time limit and the questions were direct and gave me a lot of room to talk about myself and let the interviewers get to know me as a person." Report Response
"I would agree with one of the prior applicants that the 15 minute video about the school was very cheesy. Granted, I interviewed on a Saturday, which was convenient for me since I work full time, but not seeing any other staff there besides the interviewers wasn't very impressive. Besides the video, which was interrupted for the interview, I really didn't get to hear about the school or about it's strong suits, I have no idea why I should go there. Oh! I guess I should read the packet they gave me..." Report Response
"The M3 and M4 students do their rotations in Fargo, Bismarck, Minot or Grand Forks. The school doesn't have a hospital on campus in affiliation with the academic program." Report Response
"Like I said, the interview was very thorough, I felt that my interviewers really got a good idea of who I was in the interview. UND itself is a very good school, since it initiated its patient-centered learning approach a couple of years ago its students have performed quite well on the step exams. I was informed that last year 20% of the UND students scored in the 90th percentile on the first step exam. That's impressive, considering the school's average accepted MCAT score is ~27. However, I didn't hear that during the interview day, instead I watched a cheesy video of which I couldn't really tell you much. " Report Response
