How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

8 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

I did a mock interview. I read about the school.

What impressed you positively?

I loved the diversity of the campus. I loved that the bulletin boards showed lots of evidence that the school provides information for the students to prepare for the NAPLEX and succeed. The new drug facilities are marvelous. The people I encountered in the interview were friendly and very kind.

What impressed you negatively?

I just did not like starting off wrong by being given the wrong time to arrive.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish I had known it was a closed file interview.

What are your general comments?

I really was impressed with the Dean, the alumni and students we interviewed with and met. The facilities and traditions of the school are great. If you want a great school to prepare you to work in a diverse work world then this school is a great choice.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

I was invited to an interview at 10:00. NOWHERE did it mention an earlier time. I arrived 15 minutes early to find out I was actually fifteen minutes late. Another girl came when I did. We compared our letters with others and theirs had an earlier time than our letter. This was a disconcerting way to begin. When we took our math exam there was loud talking in the hall. If the objective was to see how well we handled ourselves under pressure then it was a good plan. If your object was to see what math we knew then perhaps it was not a good plan. My suggestion is to have a quiet test and be sure everyone has the same letter. Everything else was great.
