How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

9 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, practiced reading my pharmacy application outloud, made sure I practiced speaking outloud. Student feedback had excellent advice.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

The fact that the school is situated right in the city where there is a major hospital within walking distance. That the students who conducted the interview were happy with the school even though it is relatively new. That the clinical rotations are scheduled to be coordinated through the school. That it is a real city where you will see a heterogeneous mix of individuals and professionals walking about. That the class size is around 75 students and there is a lot of interaction as we were told by students and professors since they want this school to succeed.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

It is in the city and that can be expensive to live there in terms of rent. At the same time, you can walk anywhere. That it is perhaps going to be too much money to have a car because of parking. The fact that some of the class rooms don't look as up to date as other schools with wi-fi and outlet plugs. Doesn't look like students need lab tops during lecture.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That it would be a relatively conversational tone in the interview. That the questions would be very direct. SDN is great to read through and very helpful.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

Although many on SDN have lauded Jefferson, it is only 2 years in the making. Just keep that in mind always, because this is your life(!). Also realize that there seem to be a lot of vocal/risk-taker/bold types who are here on SDN and were willing to go for a new school.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

More information about parking garages and deciding where would be the least expensive to park.
