What impressed you positively?

The presentations were given by the dean of admissions on UABSOD as well as the student tour. Everyone was extremely nice and welcoming. Almost all of my nerves went away. A very nice facility as well.

What impressed you negatively?

N/A

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

It would be this relaxed. Also, it is good if you can make them laugh. Of course, don't just go in to be a comedian but it is really nice if you can be yourself and have a good and enjoyable time with the interviewers. They really are there just to get to know what type of person you are.

What are your general comments?

No responses

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Nothing. Great place
