How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Watched their enclosed DVD (very impressive), read their handbook and alumni magazine, SDN, viewed their website and checked-out several bioethic websites.

What impressed you positively?

The students, faculty, doctors and admission staff were extremely nice, approachable and helpful, beautiful area, and the school promotes clerkships at many off site locations around the US and world

What impressed you negatively?

It was -15 degrees the day I arrived, and the town of Hanover is pretty isolated

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How isolated the school is...Boston is probably the closest urban city around and it's 2 1/2 hours away

What are your general comments?

Overall I had a wonderful visit. The interviews were not stressful at all. The students made it abundantly clear that it is not a cut-throat environment and the class is very close. Professors are very accessible and willing to help and most days the lecture runs from 8-12. Besides the weather (snow from Oct.-Apr.) and the location...I can't see any other down-sides to this school.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
