What are your general comments?

For me this was a great fit as they focus on you the student and seem to care about their students and potential future students. Great positive vide from everyone at the Gatton College of Pharmacy! If you are interested in practing rural healthcare it is the best but if you desire to live in NYC or another huge city I would look to a school that caters to those types of careers. I was impressed by the statistics of the first graduating class from a boards pass rate, job statistics, and residency placements! Dean Calhoun is an inspirational individual and got me fired up to be apart of ETSU & Gatton College of Pharmacy! I can't wait to start in the fall 2011!

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Fantastic operation from application to acceptance! The responsiveness from the admissions lead me to believe that this is how I would be treated during my 4 years at ETSU! And a major reason why I am choosing to attend.
