What impressed you positively?

"Tour guides loved their school, and knew all the students we passed in the halls. They stressed multiple times that it is a non-competitive environment. Made me feel like they genuinely felt at home there. Would seriously consider going here if accepted." Report Response

What impressed you negatively?

"Interviewer was aloof and seemed uninterested thru the whole session. Made me feel as if no matter what I said, I wasn't going to impress her. She also told me my undergrad university wasn't that great of a school. Then she kicked me out early because she was expecting a phone call. Also, the office made a scheduling goof, and we had to wait an extra hour for the tour b/c the tour guides were still in class." Report Response

What are your general comments?

"The office staff was really nice and the tour, though delayed by an hour, gave a really good impression of the campus. The interview itself was horrible. I was expecting a low stress environment like everyone else on SDN had posted. But the interviewer made it obvious that she wasn't impressed by anything I had to say. Her questions were superficial and she asked them like she was reading off a list. No questions about state of healthcare today, or ethics or hypothetical situations. She spent 20 mins on a high horse, telling me why she became a doctor and how she does all these great things for her patients. Which would be fine, except she sounded elitist, arrogant, and put down other doctors in the hospital. Then, without asking if I had any questions, she told me she was expecting a phone call and pushed me out of her office. Mind you her office was in the bowels of the hospital and I didnt know the way back. When I went back in to ask her the way, she mumbled some random directions at me and pointed her finger down a hallway." Report Response
