How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

7 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, pondered/talked about "answers" to most common questions, kept prep short and simple.

What impressed you positively?

A lot, the facilities (undergrad and grad), the dean, everyone seemed positive and happy. Very diverse with some interesting focuses. Really friendly staff.

What impressed you negatively?

We didn't actually get to talk to any medical students and the tour was quite haphazard and fairly uninformative. They said they were short handed that day.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

You wouldn't think it but it really is a long day. Try to get some good sleep, and definitely don't get too worked up about it. They do a very good job of putting you at ease.

What are your general comments?

Seems like a great school with a lot of unique and interesting things going for it. I'm sure I would get a perfectly good education here. The area and school itself are very nice.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
