How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

9 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN. Reviewed current events and health care reform online. Reviewed my application. Information from student ambassadors on interview day.

What impressed you positively?

Everything. The campus. The curriculum (basically one class every 8 weeks for the first year and a half-day schedule). The extracurricular activities available. How relaxed the students were. The city (small town feel in close proximity to a big city). The beach.

What impressed you negatively?

One of my interviewers was rude and seemed disinterested in the whole thing. But the school allows a third interview if you feel one of your interviews didn't go too well, so that was nice.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

There is quite a bit of walking because the campus is so spread out. There was definitely more walking than I expected. Wear comfortable shoes.

What are your general comments?

Overall, I'm greatly impressed with this school and would love to be able to attend school here. Hope I get in!

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

None. Almost everyone there was super helpful, nice, and funny!
