No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Re-read my applications and essays, SDN, read their websites, call up hotels, etc.

What impressed you positively?

I LOVED THIS SCHOOL! The mindset, attitude, and heart of this school really appealed to me (I had awesome interviewers as well). I was very impressed and the rumors that I heard that this school was top-notch was justified to me.

What impressed you negatively?

The two tour-guides seemed to be winging the whole thing. It wasn't really planned. One of the poor guys was worn out from an exam (I said his attitude was ''neutral'' but he was very nice and very open to questions and he obviously loves medicine).

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing. I was prepared because I was gellin' the whole interview (that helped a lot!). Heaven have mercy on that poor girl with 4 inch heels...walking for two hours!!!!

What are your general comments?

It was a long day, but everyone should go in expecting that. Buy special soles for your formal shoes (I bought gels, I recommend them). Even with the special soles I was tired after two hours of tours. I can't really explain why I really liked this school, I just did. They try to make everything as relaxed as possible so that you can be yourself. The professors seem to love-love-love-love what they do (even if one of them is a walking cure for insomnia).

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
