No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Thought about possible questions, read over school's website, read interview feedback.

What impressed you positively?

The curriculum, the student-run community service organization called HIPHOP, the administrators, the fact that on the boards, that the students perform above the national average

What impressed you negatively?

How much the students seem to study here. They're pretty close to NYC and all sorts of fun stuff in New Brunswick, but it doesn't seem like many of them have time for it

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Exactly where my hotel was in relation to restaurants, shopping areas, bus lines etc... I didn't have a car (I flew in from out of state), so not being able to leave the hotel without calling a cab was kind of a downer.

What are your general comments?

I was very surprised at how chill the whole thing was. My interviewer makes time to interact with the students (one of my tour guides visits her often for advice and stuff), as do all the professors (it seems). I didn't get to see the hospitals, although we were offered to be taken there. The interview group was really small (8 applicants), and we had sandwiches and cookies for lunch. As a gift, we were given small calculators.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
