How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

How did you prepare for the interview?

Brushed up on my spanish a little (reading Men's Fitness en espanol, watching hispanic TV networks), went over my AMCAS application. That was pretty much it - just tried to be relaxed.

What impressed you positively?

The amicableness of the administration, faculty, and students. There seemed to be a very relaxed family environment.

What impressed you negatively?

If anything, I guess I would say the small size of the school. It almost seemed like a highschool in terms of size and building appearance.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing

What are your general comments?

I was favorably impressed overall. Again, I got a good feeling about the people, the school, and the city. I would recommend just being relaxed and try to turn the interview into more of a conversation - this will make you less tense. Make sure you ask them questions, as well. Contact me at [email protected] if you want to ask me anything or just talk about the school.
