How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

9 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read my app, UNECOM website, talked with UNECOM student, read Gevitz's The DOs, SDN

What impressed you positively?

The campus, as it's literally on the ocean. The facilities (especially the OMM lab) were great. Also, everybody is really personable there and seems like a big family.

What impressed you negatively?

The cost! And lack of abundance of scholarships available to students.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How far away from civilization it really is.

What are your general comments?

I was overall really impressed with the school - the facilities and the campus were top notch. The day started out with a brief overview of the school and a financial aid presentation. Then, the dean of students came out and asked us who we knew from UNECOM (she knew every person that we responded with!). We were broken up into two groups, one going on the tour and the other staying behind to interview. The interview was really low stress, and mine was with an MS-II and a DO. It was really just a conversation about my file - nothing difficult was asked. I would love to go here!
