What impressed you positively?

Diversity

What impressed you negatively?

Disorganization and late student guide

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That the interview was one-on-one, b/c the email told me there would be a "meeting with two faculty and/or alumnus from the School of Pharmacy".

What are your general comments?

We got there and signed in and waited in the office. There were a lot of people crowded in a small place so they moved us to a room upstairs that was very warm. We took a math and essay test (not bad). Then we interviewed. We never got a tour b/c our student guide was running late...so she only proctored our exams. We were led to our interviewers office where we waited outside to be called in. He was running behind and was still interviewing people from the last hours group. He was very tired and stuck in an office that had no a/c so he was uncomfortable and looked like he wanted to go home. The interview was quick but good.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
