How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

5 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, re-read my personal statement, practiced answering some basic questions.

What impressed you positively?

The Queen Lane campus seems small, which is nice because I imagine you won't be running all over the place during your first two years. The facilities look nice, even if they're not state-of-the-art.

What impressed you negatively?

My interview was at Hahnemann at the same time as the optional PIL information session was going on at Queen Lane. So I wasn't happy about missing that session, and I also felt that there was no wrap-up to the day.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

My student interview was during lunch and lasted maybe 20 minutes. He was very personable and it was more like a chat than anything but I was still nervous. My faculty interview was at Hahnemann after lunch and it lasted maybe 10 minutes. He was nice and although he asked me a few questions that were clearly designed to test my response to situations where there is no easy answer, he didn't grill me and he accepted it when I gave an honest &quot;I don't know.&quot;

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
