UMDNJ brochure, an unfortunately one-sided book on healthcare, SDN

What impressed you positively?

The students were very friendly and had a lot of pride in their school.

What impressed you negatively?

There isn't much in the immediate area in terms of restaurants, cafe's, etc. Students lived all over N. Jersey and drove in.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Parking is definitely a problem on interview day. Arrive early.

What are your general comments?

The MD I met with was very friendly and really had some great projects going on. The interview was laid back and very conversational. If you can, go for the tour before the interview--I found that I had a good deal more questions after looking over the facilities and meeting with the students.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
