How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Reviewed my application, checked SDN, reaffirmed why I wanted this school and DO

What impressed you positively?

Facilities are very nice and new. Classrooms are fine, Simulated Patient areas are pretty cool, OMM room is big with lots of good tables, anatomy lab is VERY well ventilated and sophisticated. Food is decent and not too expensive. Faculty and administration seem really friendly and take a big role in student life.

What impressed you negatively?

Interview was slightly stressful. One doctor and one student. They kept shooting question after question, so it wasn't really a discussion. They also took notes while I responded, which was a bit nerve-wracking.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The invitation letter said to meet in Suite 210, which is a little misleading. Just follow the signs that point to Admissions. The room is at the end of a hall with a big sign over the door.

What are your general comments?

Overall great school. Faculty seem good and the administration is very friendly. Quality of education is good, and the students appear happy with the school. Facilities are modern and excellent. Hospital on campus is very convenient. Very informal tour was nice. Admissions office was extremely accommodating and friendly. Style of interview (one doctor and one student, kept shooting questions at me, taking notes while I talked) was a bit tough and I didn't go away feeling the best. Only lasted 10-15 min long. Hear back on the 3rd Friday of each month. Nice area around the school. Overall very positive experience.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Very friendly to calls and quick to respond to emails.
