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?

read this site (though there weren't any Loma Linda interview for this year yet!), read my ethics book (though I didn't get any ethics questions)

What impressed you positively?

Everyone involved in the whole day was so friendly, all the various deans, the tour guide, the interviewers. Seemed warmer than my other interviews.

What impressed you negatively?

The campus itself isn't all that great. The medical center is nice, but the classes and stuff are nothing to write home about. And our tour seemed kind of rushed, but then again, we were running late.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Wish I knew how friendly and easy-going everyone would be, so I wouldn't be nervous!

What are your general comments?

A very pleasant day, like I said, everyone was great to me. Real friendly people there, seemed happy to have all of us there. I'm not an SDA, and it seemed to me like there were more than a few others there who were non-SDA's, but I didn't get asked a single question about spiritual issues anyways, and I'm a Christian, so I felt ready for any questions like that! The interviews were pretty relaxed, both just like nice long conversations, my second one even went half an hour over!

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
