How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Really learned about the program from the website. Why would you apply to programs that don't interest you? Interview feedback also helped. Tried to stay up to date with some health related news too.

What impressed you positively?

The entire program. I was also surprised by how much I loved the Duluth campus and feel.

What impressed you negatively?

Mostly after my interview and campus tour I was just exhausted. I already had jet lag and the stress leading up to the interview was tiring. The experience itself wasn't negative, just felt long due to me being exhausted.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish the website had more information b/n the two campuses to help you make the decision easier. I ended up going with Duluth though.

What are your general comments?

Great program and great interview experience.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
