How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN interview feedback, school Web site, looked over my app.

What impressed you positively?

The campus was beautiful, leaves were turning, nice weather.

What impressed you negatively?

The attitude of the people I met. Carolina is a good school but it (or its students and faculty) has an unwarranted high opinion of itself.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That my clinical experience did not stand out on my application.

What are your general comments?

Carolina felt very snooty. My first interviewer was interesting but we talked about random things and not as much about my work/school/volunteer experience. He also was very honest and said I basically have no chance of getting in. (I was declared OOS). My second interviewer asked me lame general questions (dead famous people you want to have dinner with, strengths, weaknesses). Compared to other interviews, the whole day was disorganized and showed a lack of trying on their part. I got the impression that they thought there school was so awesome that they didn't have to try to attract students.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
