No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

I looked over their interview packet which contained marketing materials and their newsletter.

What impressed you positively?

Facilities are nice and students seem chill. All the students being interviewed were great.

What impressed you negatively?

I didn't like how one interviewer was super positive and the other one negative / more adversarial.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish I knew how much NSU stressed osteopathic medicine and it's importance throughout your career in medicine. Some schools de-emphasize this.

What are your general comments?

It was a good day overall. I'm from Miami, so NSU is close enough to the cultural events and fun stuff that is in Miami. The students and to be students were amazing. One interviewee has already had seven interviews (including UCSD) and he liked NSU most of all.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
