How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN interview feedback, personal statement and secondary essay.

What impressed you positively?

It was a very warm atmosphere. Students seemed to interact very comfortably with faculty. This seemed like a very family friendly place, which is important to me.

What impressed you negatively?

I would like to have gotten more information about the curriculum, clinical rotations, and cost of attendance. Facilities aren't as new and shiny as some other places, though there seems to be a solid focus on giving the student all the resources they need to succeed.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That the whole campus is built into the side of a mountain. You could easily drive past the school because it's about 200 feet above the road.

What are your general comments?

This interview experience was quite different from the others I've been to. They're really mission focused which to me is a good thing. Clinical training seems to be moving in a positive direction with the addition of standardized patients and planned expansion of clinical training facilities. They like to throw around the word family here, but it didn't seem like they were blowing smoke. I really got that familial vibe from students and faculty.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
