How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

How did you prepare for the interview?

I checked the last two years of the SND school-specific forums for other students' experiences, held 2-3 mock interviews with current medical students.

What impressed you positively?

The staff and faculty were very welcoming, friendly, and very communicable. The school facilities impressed me the most!

What impressed you negatively?

Interviews were pushed forward unannounced to first thing in the morning due to a scheduling conflict, but ended up working out for the best, got it out of the way and enjoyed the rest of the interview.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Honestly, I never felt unprepared during the interview day. Every question was straight-forward and one I was expecting.

What are your general comments?

ACOM has one of the most friendly and warm staff and faculty that I have encountered. They make you feel very at east.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

One small thing I would suggest is to receive an email confirming the successful deposit. I know most students email Admissions to make sure the money went through.
