University of North Carolina Chapel Hill

Really disappointed with my day here. I went in ready to fall in love with the school and left with a bad taste in my mouth about it. They seemed like they didn't care about giving a good impression.

Not to rely on the interview day to give me much valuable info about the school.

The interview day was very disorganized and rushed. My interviewer showed up late and didn't bother to read my file in advance, so they spent a lot of time asking me to give a complete summary of my application. We saw practically none of the campus, and even the students didn't have many positive things to say about the facilities and ongoing construction. I left having learned almost nothing about the school, including its financial aid, diversity, research, and student life. I guess they expect you to learn all this information from the current students, but even they wouldn't know all the details of it.

Great school for both primary care and research, dedicated to the community

SDN, MMI practice, review of bioethics, researched the school's curriculum

I had a very positive experience and enjoyed interacting with everyone.

Nothing.

The construction and parking challenges

Everything! It was efficient and organized.

SDN interview feedback, talking to current students, and researching the school

Where to park, and that public transportation was available.

My interviewer was very casual and nice. It felt more like a conversation than anything. We discussed my hometown and job. We were enjoying the conversation so much that someone had to come and end tell us time had ended.

SDN, reviewed my application

Didn't get to see much of the school, (no tour, just different rooms used for the intro, MMI, one-on-one, and "break" room) and what we did see was older and not particularly impressive. They explained the main building for classes would be renovated soon.

My interviewer was clearly passionate about the curriculum, ensuring quality instructors, and being responsive to student feedback. The videos we watched had student testimonials that seemed like they genuinely felt very supported by the faculty and administration, academically and personally. All the students I met were enthusiastic and honest.

I missed the lunch and dean lecture because they didn't have enough interview slots and I interviewed during lunch.

The facilities are pretty old, but the students seem to get along well, and Chapel Hill in general is a great town.

I wish I had more thoroughly versed myself in the ins and outs of the curriculum. One of my interviewers helped develop it, and wanted to talk about the little details of it.

The interview day itself was pretty disorganized. There was no presentation on the curriculum, the research opportunities, financial aid, or the office of diversity. I'm used to schools trying to sell me on their strong points, but UNC didn't do that at all. I guess they figured that their reputation should speak for itself.

The interviewers had taken a lot of time to read through my file before the interview. Their questions were thoughtful. I felt like they really wanted to get the best possible picture of who I am, and were not trying to grill me.
