Read my AMCAS application, read about JeffHOPE, asked friends who attended Jefferson about interesting aspects

What impressed you positively?

The faculty I met were enthusiastic and friendly. The dean of admissions was so personable and really made me feel like she was glad I was at the interview--in fact, I felt this way the whole day, that while I was lucky to have an interview, they were glad I was an applicant---made me feel welcome! All the students were very down to earth and genuine, and they all seemed to truly love the school.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing

Excellent. In the end, I had to decide between my state school (which is cheaper), and Jeff---but my interview experience so impressed me that I have decided to go to jeff.
