"they REALLY emphasize the AMCAS app, not so much the secondary. also, i had my interview after lunch, and i thought it was much easier that way than having them before and just wanting to get out. i felt much more familiar with the school and why i really did want to go there." Report Response
"there was a powerpoint presentation from the admissions director and an impassioned plea from one of the assistant deans to consider the patients. not gonna lie, i nearly cried. then a tour given by a cute old man who was a volunteer and used to be a doctor at the medical center. lunch was with a bunch of medical students, one of whom happened to be on the admissions committee, so he provided some insights. the students were friendly and willing to help. then just two interviews, one with one of the guys who started the ED at the medical center. i actually had fun in that interview...i had to remind myself it WAS an interview. All in all, a great experience. I went in thinking it was one of my bottom choices, but i was really impressed." Report Response
