"Students at UIC are laid-back and friendly. The old buildings have some charm. Seems like an adequate place to pursue your MD." Report Response
"A total stress interview with one of my three interviewers--this man was both critical and unfair with his questions. Also, after visiting other Chicago schools, UIC was disorganized in comparison. Instead of being greeted individually, we followed signs and wandered down a hall, to a big table where there were packets with our names on them and no instruction about what to do. It was good to have a schedule but mine was wrong--had different interviewers than those admissions took me to interview with. " Report Response
"That it would be more disorganized than other schools. That I would get the full-court press from one of my interviewers and that I would feel very uncomfortable after talking to him. It would be better if the school would send out a packet with parking instructions, and maybe an informational sheet about our day at UIC, that we were supposed to just walk in and take a seat, etc. Perhaps with a little more prep, I would have felt like I was more valued by UIC despite the fact they have such a big class." Report Response
"It was overall, fine. My other two interviewers were friendly and positive, but I was upset by the third interviewer's manner and behavior. " Report Response
