No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, reviewed application documents point-by-point, formulated &amp; wrote out responses to common interview questions.

What impressed you positively?

Everyone was SO friendly. Seems like AMC goes out of the way to keep students happy. Students weren't miserable.

What impressed you negatively?

The weather sucked (rain/snow/hail). Also, everyone admitted that it's somewhat necessary to have a car or friend with a car.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

It's difficult to get a taxi! Be sure to have a cab company's number with you and call at least 30-45 minutes before you want to be picked up. At the Amtrak station, there is a dispatcher inside who you must talk to if you want a cab.

What are your general comments?

Lowest stress interview ever! Really nice people, facilities much better than other reviews indicate, and it's only 2-3 hours to Boston or NYC.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
