"SDN, amcas" Report Response
"The anatomy lab is pretty amazing and I liked how they had tests throughout which use the same format as boards so you will be well prepared." Report Response
"The housing situation is pathetic. You basically live a small dorm with 3 other students and pay a rediculous amount of money...and that's it, there are no other options. Sorry, been there, done that in undergrad." Report Response
"On the interview day there is a ton of time in between activities and they have no place for you to wait, they just want you to wander around campus by yourself or something. I would have brought a book or something to do while sitting for an hour straight." Report Response
"Well, at the beginning of the day they give you your itinerary with your interviewer's name, time, and room number. When I got to the correct building (it seemed like they spread all the applicants around campus which make it confusing and more stressful)I asked the security guard at the front desk where this room was. He proceeded to act very confused and asked me questions about what job I was applying for, what kind of car I drove here, what the extension of my party was, and basically interrogated me....when I finally got past him I looked for an elevator since my room was 300-something. Well, apparently the 300's are on the first floor. After roping some poor student into personally escorting me to my interview room, I was there at exactly the time I was supposed to be, not a second early! Then, my interviewer spent the first 10 minutes of my 30 minute interview trying to figure out my EC's (he had a list of my amcas activities to go off of) and seemed almost angry at me b/c he was confused! After that the rest of the interview went fine. It was pretty conversational and easy going. He seemed genuinely interested in my experiences, feelings, and interests. Let's just say that the interview setup made the entire experience very stressful and the lack of instructions, maps, etc, almost made me late for my interview. A couple of the other applicants actually missed some of their interviews b/c they had similar problems finding their rooms too. I hope that they revise their interview setup/schedule so it's not a crazy scavenger hunt. " Report Response
