How did you prepare for the interview?

school web site & catalog, SDN, review personal info and potential questions.

What impressed you positively?

The clinical rotations available. Student tour guides were very friendly & helpful.

What impressed you negatively?

Facilities are pretty nasty and area is really run down. Attitude. While it is true that you should expect students to be adults & self-sufficient, I think it is still reasonable to expect professors & staff to actively contribute and facilitate your education. Otherwise, save me the tuition for the basic sciences portion of the education and I will prepare for the boards myself!

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

They were 5 students short in last years class - and I was still on the wait list! I wanted to slap the whole admissions staff.

What are your general comments?

The school definitely has it's rough points, but overall I think it is good. You can definitely get a good education - you just may not be happy while you do it.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
