How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, reviewed my application, website, had friend ask me typical interview questions on my 7 hour car ride

What impressed you positively?

Facilities! Surrounding areas were beautiful too! The cost of living is much lower there than it is in most places in Florida.

What impressed you negatively?

The lack of organized research opportunities they had... This is growing though and the students who go there can really influence this.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That my file had not reached the campus due to a snowstorm at the Philadelphia Campus. They were very accomodating and made sure that I was still able to go through with my interview (this is why is was closed file for me).

What are your general comments?

Overall, I loved the school, the area, and the students seemed pretty easy-going and cooperative. Though its still very new, the curriculum has had some time to evolve from its original form. Just relax...It was one of the most easy going interviews I've ever been to.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
