No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

I ironed my shirt.

What impressed you positively?

The facilities are brand new. Everything is digital, wireless, and they have imacs at every operatory. There's a lounge with a flat screen and couches for students to hang out in, but it only holds about 50 people. They have a CT scanner for diagnostic imaging. When the other buildings are finished, the whole medical complex will be impressive.

What impressed you negatively?

They make 1st years buy a laptop (white macbook) for $2800. All textbooks come on a DVD.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Breakfast was provided (bagels, muffins, fruit, coffee).

What are your general comments?

Waited in lobby with about 25 other interviewees. Brief intro by Dr. Potter at 8:00. Returned to Lobby and waited until 9:30 for interview. Interviewed by a 3rd student and an oral surgeon (both were friendly and laid back). Tour given by a 4th year student. She was great, very honest and excited about CU. After the interview we were free to leave (about 11:30).

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
