How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

3 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read materials, talked to students

What impressed you positively?

Location in Savannah...and that's about it

What impressed you negatively?

Both interviewers seemed to have social interaction issues (so much so that student tour guides apologized on their behalf without prompting), Savannah "campus" is much less a campus and more a couple of rooms at a hospital, value for the money seemed incredibly lacking, very cagey when asked about success of PBL

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing

What are your general comments?

My experience here was very poor. If it were my only option for medical school, I may have viewed it more positively. Considering it wasn't, between the lack of a real campus, horrendous interviewers, and lack of value for money, this clearly was not the place for me.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Especially at the Savannah campus, put your best faces forward especially with interviews. My entire interview process was awkward, and that came from the demeanor of the interviewers themselves.
