Reviewed health care in New Mexico

What impressed you positively?

My first interviewer was able to make it a conversation

What impressed you negatively?

My second interviewer did not seem enthusiastic, he just wanted to pick apart my previous education and experience in a condescending fashion.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing-- previous feedback prepared me well

What are your general comments?

The day is so long, it makes it incredibly hard for people traveling long distance. We do not know the itinerary for the interview day until the day before which makes it difficult for travel. Also directions to the admissions office are very poor-- clearly they are made for current UNM students. It was very frustrating.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
