✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

10 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

9 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Reviewed my resume, primary, secondary, school catalog, and SDN.

What impressed you positively?

The school presents itself very well, the curriculum is in-line with much of what I want, and they have integrated COMLEX preparation into the curriculum. Also, the Glendale/Phoenix area was quite nice, and the MWU campus was very pleasant. Additionally, one of the interviewees had a question which our tour guide didn't know the answer to, so while we ate lunch, she tracked down the proper administrator and came back with an answer after we finished eating.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing impressed me negatively.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

For the most part, the interview day was very relaxed. The interviewers were all very friendly as were the Admissions staff. A common complaint about the AZCOM interview day is that you "waste" much time waiting around the lounge in Admissions, however, I and most of the other interviewees found it to be a great opportunity to get to know one another (and potentially, your future classmates). Also, there were several current students who talked to us throughout the day and were more than happy to answer all of our questions.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
