How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, read my applications, practice interviews.

What impressed you positively?

I really like the school and the area that it's in. I thought the presenters were funny and kept things moving along as we waited to be called for individual interviews. It seems to me that the school is very focused on the student's success. % of students passing the boards on the first try. The expansions of the school. I like the idea of a dress code- I think it'll make sure everyone is ready to go in the morning instead of groggy and half asleep. (Of course I say that now...)

What impressed you negatively?

The person speaking to us told us he'd be honest with us and give us some reasons why not to attend the school. I respect that, but I felt he focused on it for too long rather than the many positive aspects of the school.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing. I've been to the campus before and I really like it.

What are your general comments?

I feel it was a positive experience, I was nervous but they seemed to try to discourage that as much as possible and it was a relaxed setting. The article to summarize wasn't difficult. Thumbs up from me.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
