How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

I made a list of questions to ask both the interviewers and the students present, and read through SDN.

What impressed you positively?

There seems to be a really strong sense of community among the students there. The administration also seems to care a lot about the students' experience at the school and is constantly working to improve based on the feedback from the students.

What impressed you negatively?

The Old Vet Building was pretty old... some of the facilities were not as modern as I had hoped.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How stress-free the whole process would be.

What are your general comments?

They actually include the students in the admissions process - meaning that the students that you talk to on that day will give feedback about you and their conversations with you to the admissions committee. I was at first really nervous about this, but it flowed nicely and everyone just wanted to speak to everyone so it worked out really well.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Nothing - everything flowed well and everyone was extremely welcoming and excited to have the interviewees there!
