How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

6 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Researched common questions, practiced in front of a mirror

What impressed you positively?

Everyone was very friendly, since it was a smaller town, it seemed like everyone knew each other. Also the new clinic is very beautiful.

What impressed you negatively?

Many of the other schools gave me information packages before my interview, but this school gave me one after my interview.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish I would have known that I should practice my timed essay skills for a variety of prompts.

What are your general comments?

No responses

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

I think that they should send out the info packages earlier to those who are going to interview, that way people can ask questions while they are there. Also the building was hard to find, so I suggest making a map or sending one out through email.
