✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

9 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

8 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Reading SDN, AUCMED.edu, talking to a close friend that is a second term student and reading several blogs from current and former AUC students.

What impressed you positively?

I had heard a lot of negative info about AUC being a for-profit school so I didn't expect a serious interview. I was surprised in that the interview was rigorous, in depth, and quiet detailed.

What impressed you negatively?

I interviewed at the Devry facility in Sherman Oaks. The admin assistant was a bit unprofessional in her demeanor and was not prompt with notifying my interviewer that I had arrived. Interview was at 12 and the interviewer wasn't notified till 11:58.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing but make sure that you give yourself plenty of time to arrive and find parking if you interview in Sherman Oaks. Also, make sure to get your parking ticket validated; parking is $1.80 every 15 minutes!!!

What are your general comments?

Great and very positive experience!

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

My interview was awesome and I appreciate the prompt and courteous attention that Ms. Miller, Ms. Higgs and all of the AUC staff have given me.
