What impressed you positively?

The great lengths that PCOM takes to make applicants feel welcome and comfortable. The students seem to really love it.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

The tour guides didn't seem to have experience giving tours together before and read off a sheet of paper as to where to take us etc. But tons of students came into the admissions office all morning long to talk to us and that was so helpful. You really get the best feel for a school in talking to students I think.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

If your interview isn't until 11 or 11:30, you will be sitting in the admissions office from 9am until that time.

What are your general comments?

The interview was great. It's supposed to be 2 people interviewing, but one of the interviewers was a no show so the Dean of Admissions just interviewed me one-on-one. She is fabulous and very easy to talk to. She is positive without sugarcoating your application or the admissions process. During the interview (and all day long--beginning with the faculty breakfast) you get the sense that PCOM makes a sincere effort to present the school in the best possible light and attract the students who will be a good fit for the program. I have not noticed such a genuine approach in any other school I have applied to so far and it made a very positive impression on me.
