How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

UMDNJ.edu and SDN

What impressed you positively?

The incredibly small class size matched by the 2:1 Faculty to Student ratio. The clinicals can be done on campus without leaving, and the match list is second to none.

What impressed you negatively?

nothing.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That although out-of-staters are only 12% of the incomming class, that number is scewed, due to the fact that most students are made NJ residents after a license change. This is not as easy for NJ residents applying to non-NJ schools.

What are your general comments?

I arrived near 11:30am for a 1 pm interview. At 12pm a lunch/tour/meet with admissions deal goes on. The interviews are spaced out with half hours inbetween, and there are only 3-4 students there on a particular day. The interview was 1 on 2, usually a faculty member and a 3rd or fourth year. Interview lasts like 20 min, and then you can go home. No full day experience that drags on like other schools.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
