What impressed you positively?

"The interviewer was very friendly, honest, and down to earth." Report Response

What impressed you negatively?

"The 4 hour long, required, cameras-on, non interactive sales pitch during admissions day. I left with a very bad taste in my mouth. It felt like we were being pitched a business investment rather than being given information about a medical school. Also the current students seemed miserable and didn't even try to hide it. Which is a shame because I toured the school later and the current student had nothing but good things to say." Report Response

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

"You have to sit on camera for 4 hours and pretend to listen." Report Response

What are your general comments?

"There is not reason to have 2 separate parts of the interview on different days. People have jobs. Other schools provide a PowerPoint of information about the school before interview day, and then people can ask clarification questions during the q and a sessions if they desire. We don't have to sit through pre-recorded presentations for 4 hours." Report Response
