What impressed you positively?

The school is in a great location. When walking into the building everyone was so great. The receptionist was the most happy person you will ever meet who kept telling me I was going to do great, a definite relaxer. Students came in and talked to us while we waited and answered any questions that we had. An overall sense of enthusiasm and camaraderie.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How laid back it really was. There was really no need for me to be nervous.

What are your general comments?

The interview experience was calm. It was my first interview and I was the first to go. Even though there were three interviewers, it was a laid back environment. The admissions counselor continually informs you that this is their opportunity to meet you and not attack you. I really look forward to hearing back from this school. This and UMDNJ are my top choices.
