How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, School Webpage, and speaking to friends who I knew interviewed there.

What impressed you positively?

How friendly the students, faculty, and staff were; and how the students genuinely seemed to really like the school.

What impressed you negatively?

The hospital was not included in the tour and the school is located in an area where owning a car is a necessity. However, Valhalla is very close to New York City.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

There is a prison located near the campus; although this is not too big of a problem to me as the campus seemed safe.

What are your general comments?

Overall, the school had very nice facilities and all the people I met were very welcoming and friendly. My interviewer was also friendly and easy to talk to. All my interview anxiety disappeared witihin a few minutes of beginning my interview.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
