How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

I read over my AMCAS and secondary essays.

What impressed you positively?

All of the faculty and staff were very warm and friendly, and they put you at easy right away. It was a great experience.

What impressed you negatively?

Because of the hurricane, we were told that the facilities are still not up and running, but they will be by June. We weren't given a tour, but we were told we could wander around if we want. We were told that if we want to go back once everything is done, we're more than welcome to do so.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing really.

What are your general comments?

It was a great experience. The people are great, the atmosphere is laid back, and it's nothing to get nervous or uptight about.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
