How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

How did you prepare for the interview?

Went through my application, questions on this site, and had my SO go through some questions that he thought might pop up.

What impressed you positively?

I really liked walking through the teaching hospital. I also met with a few students on and after the tour, and they seemed generally happy even though it was finals week for them.

What impressed you negatively?

I didn't feel like the admissions staff tried to sell the school to me. I know it was the middle of the week, but it would have been nice to have felt even somewhat wanted after missing class and traveling to the school.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

It would have been nice to know that at the end of the interview, there is no time to ask questions to the interviewers.

What are your general comments?

Overall, I like what I've seen of the school, and haven't heard complaints from the people I know who go there.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

I'd suggest considering using email to notify applicants instead of snail mail. It is more cost effective for them plus we spend less time waiting for those darn envelopes to arrive :-)
