How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read the interview feedback on SDN, read over my AACOMAS application and my secondary, and looked over issues in healthcare etc.

What impressed you positively?

My interviewers were very friendly and not at all trying to trip me up with difficult questions. They didn't try to grill me on any aspects of my CV or application. Also, the school was really nice and the students seemed happy with their school.

What impressed you negatively?

There was a bit of waiting around throughout the day, and our interviews got behind schedule. Which made me late for lunch. Sigh.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Bring a pencil and pen.

What are your general comments?

Nova wasn't my first choice school, but when I got there I didn't want to leave. And wear comfortable shoes because it is a large campus and they take you around to a lot of places.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
