How did you prepare for the interview?

What impressed you positively?

The facilities are very nice. The second floor of the libary was just re-done and looks great and spacious. The athletic facilities and the gym were nice too, with new equipment. The students were very outgoing and seemed to really love thier school. They emphasized that most people join clubs and are very involved in the school.

What impressed you negatively?

I didn't get to see the anatomy lab or STAN. They say that the anatomy lab is huge with a large window overlooking the city.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I knew that the school was called P.C.O.M, but make sure not to make the mistake of saying PCOM during your interview.

What are your general comments?

I got to the campus at around 8:00AM and went to sign in at Evans Hall. Most people were just beginning to walk in at this point and we were all taken to breakfast. After breakfast we sat in the admissions office and waited to be interviews one-by-one. Students stopped by to talk to us about their experiences. Everyone was very friendly including the interviewers.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
