What are your general comments?

"Overall, I was thoroughly impressed with what this school has to offer. This interview is actually my first in a series of five other interviews. I felt that the atmosphere was laidback. It felt like one interviewer tried to play the bad cop role; however, all the interviewers seemed to be engaged in the entire interview. As the interview progressed, things seemed to be less tense for me and more natural. I felt a lot more at ease, and I think the interviewers warmed up a bit. It was really a positive experience with the 2nd year medical students who really love the school. They were funny; kept things very light and willing to answer questions. From what the 2nd years said, atmosphere wise, students are very driven. (fyi, there seem to be quite a few married students/engaged, nothing wrong with that, just wanted to give a head's up) Other than that, the clinic on-campus is very nice and will continue to grow and become a more integral part of the overall pod program. There are plenty of opportunities and clinical experiences in the greater Phoenix area that will prepare students." Report Response
