coldpizzahotsriracha Posted September 5, 2014 Report Share Posted September 5, 2014 I'm not sure if this is intentional to be intimidating or something, but a woman from MD Admissions has consistently been rude over the phone by cutting me off mid-sentence. It's a little annoying when I'm trying to explain a complicated situation and she jumps to a conclusion right away. Not that I'm particularly phased about this or anything, but I feel it reflects poorly on the U of A. Has anyone had similar experiences? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkGhost Posted September 5, 2014 Report Share Posted September 5, 2014 I wouldn't take it as a representation of UofA. But, yes, I've noticed lots of admission offices are like this. Especially around application time, interviews, and when acceptance letters are sent out. Those are just busy times of year, and they've probably answered the same questions over and over again. Not that, that justifies being rude to applicants, but most people don't handle stress well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MD2B2019 Posted September 5, 2014 Report Share Posted September 5, 2014 I never called MD admissions, I did email to several MD admissions for questions and get answers within 12 to 24 hours. Since the questions and answers were on writing, it's more accurated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harvey Specter Posted September 5, 2014 Report Share Posted September 5, 2014 You should probably not mention the name of the person OP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rookie3065 Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 In my experience, it is best to make an appointment with an admissions officer. I just had an appointment with one, and the adviser was very kind and patient with my questions. Also, check the med Application Help Guide before contacting admissions, 9/10 times it has the answer to your question Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
