How did you prepare for the interview?

Stay on top of the news, reviewed my own file, looked over the website.

What impressed you positively?

The facilities are amazing, probably top in the country right now. The students are very honest. The admissions staff is looking more for a great all-around person rather than a 4.0 geek. Sim lab was VERY nice. After every one of my responses the interviewers said "wow, great answer!". Have "intermurals" and other activities. All exams are given on a computer and are NBE style.

What impressed you negatively?

NBE pass rates are below national average. The first 2 classes are still "working out the kinks", as will the next class and probably a few after that. Current affairs questions were unreasonable, unrelated, and difficult. Students complained about the laptops they had to buy (wanted better quality). The campus is in the middle of nowhere, literally. Made me fell inferior due to my grades at the end of the interview, which should not have been the case.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The students raved about the cheap living but that is because they lived in the middle of nowhere. Promoted private sector as well as public health. Clinic will open this spring. About 1/3 of the class is Mormon, which I learned from the students, making it an interesting mix of students. Many students appeared to be married.

What are your general comments?

Good school, great facilities, wonderful staff, but working out the kinks in the program still and seems like an awful place to live.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
