How did you prepare for the interview?

Read over ALL SDN feedback and compiled a list of all old intervierw questions and prepared answers to all of them...all but one of my interview questions were right from this list. Hint Hint.

What impressed you positively?

I had spent this past summer at UNECOM as a pharmacology research fellow, so I was already very impressed with the research program. facilities, and faculty. The interview really just solidified the notion I previously had formed of UNECOM being a great school. Also, the view of the ocean is TERRIFFIC!

What impressed you negatively?

Lack of financial aid; there is a biomedical research facility in the works now, but the research labs in Stella Maris are antiquated. They really need the new facility for modern research to develop.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing...but again, I had spent this past summer there are a research fellow, so I already knew the area/school.

What are your general comments?

Overall, an excellent experience. I would love to attend UNECOM--the students, faculty, people in the area, etc., are wonderful, the research is great, facilities are tops, etc. Overall, definitely a top choice.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
