Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

The curriculum. I like the idea of a systems-based curriculum, but I like how they separate anatomy into a separate course. Also, the students seem to be very involved in the community.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

The aesthetics of the facility. I think it would be sort of depressing to drive into campus every morning. Pomona doesn't seem like the greatest city, either.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How much down time there is. Defninitely bring something to do.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

Overall the experience was good. I like how they have a detailed information session explaining the curriculum, financial aid, etc., as well as the campus tour before the interview. This gives the opportunity to gain more knowledge and form an opinion about the school before having to explain your interest in the school during the interview. I was not too thrilled with how much I had to wait around. They told us to arrive by 9:15 am, so I got there about 9:00 to be on the safe side. Then when I checked in they told me that they would begin the day at 10:00. Why don't they just tell us to get there at 10:00? Then after the tour I had to wait around for 2 hours before my interview. It made for a long day.
