What impressed you positively?

The students and staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The building is a green building. They try to save water, paper, and even collect rain water from the roof.

What impressed you negatively?

Although everyone was saying the interview was very conversational and they only wanted to get to know you, I felt that since I was assigned a later interview time the interviewers just wanted to be done with the whole process. They asked no follow up questions to my answers but just felt preoccupied to shooting off all the questions that were on their list. I could have mentioned I won the Nobel Peace Prize and they would have just nodded their heads and went off to ask "Now how would you deal with a difficult group member?" I was interviewed by a student and a pharmacist that had no affiliation to the school.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

There are a lot of people asked to the interview so it's very crowded since the campus is one building. The PA program was also interviewing on the same day.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
