What impressed you positively?

The campus where classes were held was nice. Choice of learning styles during first two years was interesting.

What impressed you negatively?

The main hospital is a 25 min. shuttle ride away, that is where I had my interview. Also my student interviewer told me that her car got broken into since moving there, not good!

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I should have guessed that I would be sent off site for my interview, just my luck. I get kind of car sick when I ride in those bumpy shuttles and the crazy driver did not help! I also wish I knew that my interviewer would not have my file. I was glad I brought a copy of my AMCAS!

What are your general comments?

It was a good overall day. I liked the wireless campus and meeting a few students, they all seemed happy there. My faculty interview was at Hahnemann Hospital and was tough because I could not understand the guy. He had a thick foreign accent. He also did not have my info so we just talked about random things. He also watched the clock the whole time. My student interview was great, just a conversation. She wanted to know that I was a normal person. I was accepted about a month after my interview.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
