How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read the brochure and talked to a few people I knew who attended the school, prepared a few questions that I wanted to have answered, prepared for common questions they would ask

What impressed you positively?

The kindness and sincere love the students have for their school

What impressed you negatively?

The facilities are beginning to really show their age.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

None -- I would recommend using the Train system if you need to get around -- it's cheap, efficient, conveinent to just about everything including the med school... it makes life easier getting to the airport, for instance

What are your general comments?

A very relaxing experience -- I felt as if I was able to provide them with a good idea of what I was all about. The interviews were very low stress and were designed to give lots of opportunities for me to ask questions of them. Overall, I was very impressed with everything about the school (especially the students) with the exception of the facilities which just look old and well-used.
