How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

8 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Reviewed my application and did some research on the school.

What impressed you positively?

Everyone was very nice and helpful on campus. We had to find our interview in the hospital and people were very willing to help us find our way. The school seemed to offer ample opportunity to become involved in whatever field you desire.

What impressed you negatively?

I had to wait a couple minutes for my interviewer to finish typing an email before we began, but after that it was very fun and conversational.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

Maryland is a great school, and I would love to go to school here.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

It would be helpful to provide students with a bit clearer direction on where within the hospital their interviews actually are. It took 3 students and I about 25 minutes to find the location, but on the bright side we got our own mini tour.
