What impressed you positively?

Clinics are so brand spankin' new they even smell new! Students were quite confident in their clinical skills. Faculty appeared to take a interest in the students' success. Easy to establish NJ residency. Lunch was quite tasty.

What impressed you negatively?

Newark. Older portions of the school are ugly and old, some students didn't seem to be really happy there (the school, and Newark).

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That it would be a very low stress experience!

What are your general comments?

The first thing you do is get interviewed once you get there. I think that helped put me to ease. Once the interviews were over, we all started going over to the table with breakfast on it:) The admissions faculty members wre very friendly, and stressed that we they wanted us to interview them to make sure we really would like the school. They make a solid case why I should want to go there.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
