How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

sdn, website

What impressed you positively?

they are very responsive to student feedback apparently, and all the students raved about the admins

What impressed you negatively?

1) its the most expensive school in the country apparently 2) their md/mph program is crammed into four years, which for some people may be good, but for me is rather disturbing as i think that it will probably diminish the quality of each degree. i asked the director of the program about this, and his answer was &quot;yes, i think that the quality of each degree suffers a bit....moreso with the MPH.&quot;

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

there is no student housing. well, they have one dorm, but apparently only 20 or 30 students live there.

What are your general comments?

i felt like i got a very good comprehensive impression of the school. their admissions committee did a pretty good job presenting the school to us

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
