What impressed you negatively?

the interviewer ONLY asked me ONE question..."Why Optometry". After I was done saying why, he just said "ok do u have any questions for me". Disappointed in this school, especially for people who travel hundreds of miles for a "one" question interview. Glad I did not go there, just imagine the education if they really don't care what you have to say.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That they only ask ONE interview question. Wouldn't have bothered spending $200 on applying to them.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Feel free to actually look at a person aka interview them, vs basing everything on numbers.
