10 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

8 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

I read SDN feedback, and looked up standard interview questions.

What impressed you positively?

The facilities are very nice, and a it's a pretty cool building.

What impressed you negatively?

I didn't like the fact that everyone was so concerned about jobs. I know it's something we should be worried about, but it seemed like a really really big deal to them. Almost made me think that people graduating are having trouble finding jobs.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing.

What are your general comments?

I don't really like how the school was founded. The story was basically that , the state of Tennessee didn't want another pharmacy school. So they raised the money themselves to build one. They try to make it sound all great and everything, but I don't know. They talked a lot about saturation problems in the field, but they're clearly one of the causes.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
