No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN and the materials NSU sends out. They are very professional in their publications.

What impressed you positively?

Everyone seemed cordial and the school facilities were pretty impressive (mind you, I've only visited two other med schools).

What impressed you negatively?

I felt like I was in an ant farm, there were green ants, blue ants, and then normal ants. Everyone was in scrubs. I felt that would be defeating of the "dress code" concept. It certainly didn't seem very academic.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That in spite of the fact I had communicated via telephone and e-mail to change my interview date, they still weren't expecting me.

What are your general comments?

Overall I liked the school. It took more than a week to find out if we were accepted or not due to a Hurricane. Seems like Florida is having a number of "big ones" this year.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
