How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

8 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read the PBL curriculum they provided before the interview. Reviewed their website.

What impressed you positively?

The facilities are amazing. The equipment is top notch.

What impressed you negatively?

If I get a accepted and attend then I'll be the 2nd year ever to attend. So the curriculum and schedule all sound great, but since no class has experience 2nd, 3rd, or 4th years as of right now. So a lot of what they presented us with was theoretical information. They also suggested that the average student will spend 6-8 hours a day reading. If you don't like lectures and would rather read than this is a big plus.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

In my group interview we didn't take turns answering the question asked. You just jump right in and answer. Some people talked more than others as a result.

What are your general comments?

I really loved it. I am glad I went to the interview and am very much interested in attending the school.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
