What impressed you positively?
Lois Lott, the dean of admissions, is WONDERFUL!!! She does the interviews and is one of the main reasons why I would choose this school. She is very enthusiastic and the interview was like talking to an old friend. I know that if I ever had a problem when attending OCPM, I would feel very comfortable speaking to her about it. Also, the new facilities are beautiful, we didn?t get to see them on the interview day, so I drove by them the next day. Independence, OH is very nice.
What impressed you negatively?
Not seeing the new school, I guess we couldnt because it is still a hard hat area.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
That the interview would be so relaxed.
What are your general comments?
I thought OCPM was great! Before I even came to the interview I had spoken to Lois Lott and was very excited to meet her. All of the school staff that we met were great. The student ambassadors were very open and answered all of our questions. The ambassadors met us in the morning and stayed with us all day, so if a question came up they could answer it. They told us the professors are very accessible and even record lectures just in case you miss a class. There is also a fraternity that pretests students before the actual test to help them with their weaknesses. The whole day was very relaxed and all of the interviewees got to know each other. It was all together a fun day, not stressful at all.
