✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

10 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN feedback. Just know who you are and where you're coming from and you will be fine in this interview. They already know they want you and don't grill you like some of the other schools.

What impressed you positively?

The Hospitality and how nice and helpful everyone is including the doctors, admissions staff and students.

What impressed you negatively?

Ohio. Rough weather and not much to do, not a lot of culture compared to LA where I live. If you come from a small town already, it shouldn't affect you very much. The Board pass rates.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I couldn't go anywhere without getting a ride from the hotel shuttle. You can get by without a car, but if you want to see the city and go out to eat I highly recomend renting a car.

What are your general comments?

Great learning environment and staff/student relationships. Everyone there really wants you to succeed and be happy and are very helpful. The school is really growing since the merge with Kent and its going to get better in later years. Board pass rates can be better, and they are working on that.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Keep up the good work!
