What impressed you positively?

Very nice facility and seemed like a nice quiet city/town. Faculty were extremely friendly. Mock PBL session was very informative and interesting.

What impressed you negatively?

The only thing that was slightly negative about the entire interview was that it was a single interview with two interviewers which lasted maybe 20 minutes and felt kinda rushed. I would doubt that they could honestly judge a person as being a fit or not for their school based on 20 minutes.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

All-in-all, I really liked the school and the faculty I was introduced to. Dr. James Moore gave honest answers to our questions regarding positives and negatives of the school and made it a very enjoyable experience.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Ya'll were excellent. Thank you Dr. Moore for making the interview process less stressful.
