10 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Re-read AMCAS, read Newsweek, SDN and prayed.

What impressed you positively?

That everything is in one building, because it's cold outside! The friendliness of the staff and the dedication of the faculty to your success.

What impressed you negatively?

That I was stuck in my hotel, it's too cold outside to go anywhere and there are no busses. :(

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Only 60 in the class! Slim chances for an out of state person, but I liked that it was small.

What are your general comments?

It was relaxed, more of a kind of get-to-know you experience rather than trying to stump you with hard ethical dilemmas. The admissions people were very friendly, seemed like they knew a lot about me already, listened and I had good conversations.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

None.
