How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

I read my secondaries, browsed the P.C.O.M. and A.A.C.O.M. websites, read feedback at studentdoctor.net

What impressed you positively?

The considerate and encouraging students.

What impressed you negatively?

The size of the class (I didnt realize that all 250 students have class together ALL day). I felt like wallpaper all day because my interview was near the end and they switched the person who they orginally announced would be my interviewer.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That they overbook their interviews for the amount of time they have.

What are your general comments?

P.C.O.M. is a great school, and I imagine that my negative experience was unique. The stress level was so high because it was my first interview, because I was to go almost last, and because I hadnt the nerves to eat a proper breakfast. So...four hours later I was ready to faint.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
