How did you prepare for the interview?

PCOM, SDN + AACOM website, reviewed AACOMAS and secondary application.

What impressed you positively?

The school is great! Students are very helpful and supportive. All the staff members were very welcoming and made me feel like I really belonged there. The cafe has great food and ALL the facilites are renovated. Despite the large class size there are enough facilites to accomodate everyone! PCOM offers many opportunities to get involved in exciting research areas, like Alzheimer's disease, etc. There is a nice balance between the competition and cooperation among PCOM students. PCOM is located strategically, with almost everything available around a 5-10 mile radius.

What impressed you negatively?

The tour seemed a bit unorganized, but overall it was pretty informative.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

PCOM is my first choice, and my visit to the shcool really proved to me that I should not change my mind about going there! There is a genuin atmosphere among students and staff of helping each other. Its simply awesome!
