"great job !" More from this Member | Report Response

"First of all, I was very disappointed that the email inviting me for an interview only allowed for a 30 minute time slot, yet we were there for 3 hours. Despite the misleading email, those 3 hours were not used effectively. Why would you make each student should wait for everyone else to finish their personal 30 minute interview before moving on? And during the waiting process, you repeated the same topics over and over again by different members of the staff. It felt like the process was thrown together at the last minute, and not calculated based upon time. It was very unprofessional. The worst part of this experience, was the fact that I had brought my parents with me to the interview because we had traveled out of state for this one event. They were only allowed to mingle in the lobby, and they were told that they would be invited to tour the school with us once we reached that step in the interview process. By the time we finished.... 3 hours later, all of the parents had left to go back to their hotel. I'm highly disappointed, and you should really rethink your interview process before more students are invited back. (It's not like this was your first week of interviews!)"

"Have one debriefing session that way information do not need to repeated to fill in the applicants who left for interviews. Maybe have the financial aid and other information presentation with all applicants present. Then split the group up to those being interviewed, and rest can go on campus tour with students?"

About the LizzyM Score

LizzyM, SDN Moderator and medical school admissions committee member, is the inventor of the LizzyM Score. The score allows you to see if you are a competitive applicant at a given school. If your LizzyM Score is far below or above the average, you may not be a good fit. If your score is far below, your application may be screened out due to numerical cutoffs. If it is far above, the school may assume they are your “safety” school and that you won’t attend if they offer an acceptance. This score should be used only as a guide to help you select schools and is not a guarantee of acceptance at any school. If you use this as your sole criteria to select medical schools to apply to, you don’t deserve to get in anyway.
