No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

I didn't. Let's be honest, after you've had one interview, you've had them all.

What impressed you positively?

Facilities, technology, and an effort to always improve.

What impressed you negatively?

3rd and 4th year rotations could be quite far from campus, large class sizes, over-reliance on students to teach/assist

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The students that were there on my day (there were 15 besides me) were not exactly the typical applicant and it felt a little odd.

What are your general comments?

It was easy schmeezy and very laid-back. They day drug on a bit with a bunch of sessions that all felt like they were too long.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

No responses
