SDN, AMCAS, keep up with news, mock interview at undergrad

What impressed you positively?

Wake seems to have happy and enthusiastic students, good technology, financial aid meeting was very informative...they pay for your boards and a laptop through tuition, cost of living in the area, everyone seemed nice.

What impressed you negatively?

We didn't get to meet any 2nd, 3rd, or 4th year students, or any faculty members except for the interviewers. Also, we weren't able to see any of the hospital on the tour.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I should have rented a car. Getting from PTI to the hospital is difficult. (Alamo rents to people under 25 for a small fee)

What are your general comments?

Wake seems nice, and I would love to go here, but it would be difficult justifying their $58,000 per year vs. my state schools $25,000. I really didn't feel like I got a better impression of what the school was about after the interview.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
