What impressed you positively?
The integrated curriculum. I love Huntington!!! The school's community-based approach. How Ms. Warren seemed to be really concerned about each of us. The rural and international options.
What impressed you negatively?
That we didn't meet any students.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
To get there super early--because the first interview started at 8:30--no preliminary anything.
What are your general comments?
No frills interview--no tour unless you asked for it (that was of the second year's facility); no breakfast, drinks, snack, or lunch. The admissions office seems to be a one-woman shop, but she does a great job--very friendly and helpful. Just from the admissions process it seems like a very family-like school. Take the extra time to orient yourself to Huntington. It's a wonderful town and a lot of the facilities of the University and the Medical school are new. Everyone seems happy to help-- you just have to let them know it's something you'd like to know about.
What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
a little orientation before the interview would be nice
