How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Not too much. I just looked at their website and looked at SDN.

What impressed you positively?

I was impressed with the clinic, the faculty, and the students. The clinic was very large and each student was working on his/her own patients. The faculty all seemed nice. They treat the students as equals-in-training not as money trees. The students all seemed to be happy and focused.

What impressed you negatively?

There seems to be a general lack of faculty. The faculty they have are great but they definitely need more. The weather also stinks! I guess it is gray a lot. It rained the whole time I was there.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That I should have relaxed more before the interview. It really wasn't that stressful. It was stressful enough to keep you on your toes but not enough to make you sweat.

What are your general comments?

Great school! Probably not my top choice but definitely a good choice.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
