How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, read some general questions and reviewed some of my positive and negative skills/traits

What impressed you positively?

How laied back the admissions staff was. There was not a bit of tension in anyone after 15 minutes into the interview day. Amazing.

What impressed you negatively?

We didn't see the Dean and the student tour was weak.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish I had known more about how important community involvement was. I would have found more info on their programs. They pride themselves on patient care (well above research), so take note.

What are your general comments?

Introduction to each other and the recruitment director, 2 interviews (open and closed file), a laid back lunch with the students, tours of the facilities, and out by 2:30.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

None, they have been great.
