How did you prepare for the interview?

Reviewed their application materials, stayed w/ a student host who answered alot of my questions and talked about the school

What impressed you positively?

The facilities were new and very nice, the students and staff seemed friendly, and the area of town the school was in is clean and safe

What impressed you negatively?

When asked about how well students do in their residency placements, my interviewer said, "Well, if you want to stay in the midwest you shouldn't have any problems..." He didn't seem very confident about the school's ability to place students in top/competitive residencies.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The school isn't in downtown Milwaukee, but actually in a suburb called Wauwatosa (sp). Peaceful, but still an easy drive to the city. Also, the cost of living is much lower than I had expected, especially compared to some other schools I'd been to.

What are your general comments?

They had a welcome/social hour thing on Thursday night for the students staying with a host. We had lunch in the cafeteria before the formal day started. The whole group was split into two, I had my interviews first, followed by a tour of the school. Once everyone was done, we had a brief financial aid presentation. The formal part lasted from 12:30 until about 4:30.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
