How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

What impressed you positively?

Facilities, the students, the non chair professors.

What impressed you negatively?

A lack of humility in the dean level and chair level staff.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That there would be an essay to write

What are your general comments?

Wonderful facilities, great location (not from Tennessee), and great students! As the school grows its reputation it will be a great pharmD program. Be sure to stay on the admissions office as they definitely are not there to help you! I was accepted but the admissions office was a top reason why I decided to attend elsewhere. As I could not be sure if this was an admissions office issue that continued through the culture of the school or not.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Pro - fantastic people and very willing to help once you get them. Con - To provide better timelines when the student reaches out to you for communication. No response to e-mail or phone follow ups for 3 days or more is unacceptable from an admissions office.
