1. the fact that we didn't get to see the clinic 2. the area---not the greatest 3. the school resembles a strip mall

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

huge let down with the clinic. i keep harping on this, but it's really important in my eyes. of the schools that i interviewed, this was the only one that didn't show their clinic. granted, it was a saturday, but for the sake of attracting applicants it would have made a difference. while i admire the school and its philosophy, i felt like i was kept out of the loop in some respect during my interview.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

please allow interviewees to tour the clinic. since it is one of the major selling points of the program, prospective students should have the opportunity to see the clinic...even if it is a saturday. of the many schools i interviewed at, this school was the only one that did not give a tour of the clinic. very strange.
