How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read my file. Drilled with interview feedback

What impressed you positively?

GREAT CURRICULUM!!! Students only take one or two classes at a time...many find the time to work. In addition their board scores are great. They even had the highest step 1 score this year.

What impressed you negatively?

The city is frightening...but the students I approached assured me that the campus was safe.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The curriculum... I had no idea how good it was.

What are your general comments?

This was my first of four interviews and was by FAR the most difficult. But it was difficult in an insightful way; the interviewer really dug into my file (he practically knew me better than I did). So, in the end the difficulty was appreciated. ;)

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
