✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Other interviews - read all five of my essays again.

What impressed you positively?

Not much to be honest. The people were friendly I spose.

What impressed you negatively?

Most everything. The curriculum is weird (lectures one year and PBL the other). The facilities are lackluster - which is probably why they didn't give a tour. The faculty seemed disinterested and disheartened by the school. The students seemed 'eh' about their experiences.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The interview day was so poorly planned and that the food not only sucked, but wasn't even enough for a meal.

What are your general comments?

This is the worst school I've seen. If you fit the mission of this school, apply heavy DO. State's DO school itself is a thousand times better not to mention other DO schools. The mission of this school parallels that of DO schools, and they do a much better job with it.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
