SDN, MSAR, List of Questions from Premed Advisor

What impressed you positively?

The staff and faculty were VERY friendly. They seemed to care about the wellbeing of the students. The town was also much better than I thought it would be. (Wasn't expecting too much)

What impressed you negatively?

Lack of affiliation with a university limits their resources somewhat. Some areas of Albany are pretty run down. Cost of tuition.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

The admissions staff made the day a very pleasurable experience. They took a lot of time to explain their process and answer any questions we had. Most people get two interviews, but I got one after doing really well on the first one (I think).

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
