No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, mock interview, re-read over my personal statement and application information, researched the school.

What impressed you positively?

The facilities are really nice and I like how all of the health professions share the same building (medical, dental, etc..)

What impressed you negatively?

The interview itself was really discouraging. The interviewers spent the entire interview just pointing out all the negative things about my application.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish I would have known to prepare to answer questions on why I wasn't a 4.0 student and why I didn't have a 99 composite on my PCAT.

What are your general comments?

I enjoyed everything about the school itself. I really liked the facilities and seeing all the students dressed in scrubs. The actual interview, however, was really bad. I felt the interviewers were really rude and condescending. I was asked to explain everything on my application and no matter what answer I gave they never seemed satisfied. I was expecting the interview to be about getting to know ME better but it wasn't like that at all. They didn't care about who I was only why I wasn't the perfect applicant.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
