SDN had pretty much all the questions that were asked
What impressed you positively?
School has an ok reputation, it's been around for a long time, it's in a big city, and they have a small pharmacy museum in the school
What impressed you negatively?
It looks like it's in a really bad neighborhood, the building is dilapidated, students have to use the medical school's library, and the tour guide said there is collaborative work but that the med students speak down to the pharmacy students
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
That the location and subway were going to be so scary
What are your general comments?
This school supposedly has a good program, but the admissions and faculty put zero effort into selling it to the prospective students, as other surveys have pointed out. Seems like they don't care about the students.
What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
Actually put some effort into selling the school to the applicants. We spent a lot of money to apply and interview, but we have other options that actually show us they care.
