"city is VERY nice and affordable. lots to do. clinics getting redone. You go through some Y1 classes with med students. Rotations through most specialties a requirement. Students were generally happy and easy-going, NOT beaten down and sullen." Report Response
"interviewer had not read a line of my file. Every student I talked to was an in-stater so it was difficult to gauge the happiness of out-of-staters. Gale Shea left the admissions team and now works for the school of nursing. Seems like the admissions office was pretty slammed (IE not completely ready for Gales departure.) Not a single window in Y3/Y4 clinics." Report Response

"Overall the experience was positive, I was just a bit rattled that the interviewer hadn't read my application. Had I clarified that early in the interview, I probably would have answered questions differently. I felt they could have gotten MUCH more out of the interview and a much better comprehension of me as a person had we NOT spent 15 of the 30 min interview rephrasing rote answers that my application paperwork addressed. Minn Supplemental is LONG. My advice for interviewers: Read the kids file. My advice for interviewees: Don't worry about the pace with which you answer questions. Some will be slow, some will be fast. What's important is to be considerate, thoughtful, and measured. Minn/StPaul is a beautiful part of the country if you like msquitos and snowballs.
