How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read brochure, read my AMCAS, my secondary, got some email communication going with the Student Council President for a student perspective.

What impressed you positively?

The students were great. Administration also strikes me as trying desperately to move forward from their embarassing old-white-boy-old-school past. Students sit on every single committee.

What impressed you negatively?

Lecture hall wasn't exactly that nice, not sure about diversity of the class either. Tuition is sky high and I've seen better financial aid.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That there will be about 30 other interviewees with me in the beginning. No big deal though.

What are your general comments?

It was my first interview, and I have to give Jefferson props for teaching me so much about the school, both positive and negative. I had fun, and I feel pretty good about how I did. I can definitely see myself attending this school more than I did before the interview.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
