How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, Midwestern's website.

What impressed you positively?

The organization of the admissions office and procedures, as well at the whole interview day. The Dean was very friendly and approachable, gave good advice. Everyone tried to be laid back and put everyone at ease. The curriculum and the way they prepare students for real life. The fact that its a health sciences campus and a lot of the people you are in school you could potentially be working with in the future.

What impressed you negatively?

Dorms/housing seem a little outdated. The pharmacy library seemed pretty small - maybe there is a bigger library somewhere on campus? (We weren't shown it).

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Prepared really well so I wasn't too worried and knew it all ahead of time.

What are your general comments?

Really organized interview. Prep and you'll be fine!

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Admissions decisions through email would be nice.
