How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

3 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Just looked up interview questions.

What impressed you positively?

The school's facilities are impressive.

What impressed you negatively?

The students during the student interview were extremely rude. Did not introduce themselves and were NOT friendly. Most of the other students were not as eager to answer questions either, and some were almost condescending.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

I think Maryland needs to change their interview process. They should show a short powerpoint or have brief introduction to the school, describing different programs (I would have liked to know more about the PharmD/JD program), the location, etc. Other schools also had other student groups to bring us to our interview locations, as a way to be friendly and helpful. Maryland did NOT have this and it was to their detriment.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

The only reason the school's materials were eco-friendly is because they didn't provide enough information on sheets of paper!
