No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read the school's materials, mock interviews

What impressed you positively?

The new campus is going to be nice, there is a well-organized preceptorship program, and the students were pretty relaxed, even though they had just had a test

What impressed you negatively?

The current campus is crowded and unsophisticated and there is little chance for research

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The food is terrible and the tour is not worth going on except to speak more with the students

What are your general comments?

The chat before the interviews imparted more in the way of bad jokes than information. The first interviewer was very aggressive, while the second one (the attourney general of CO) was very engaging. The meal was low-class and the tour served no purpose.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
