What impressed you positively?

Facilities were great, students seemed happy

What impressed you negatively?

The student giving the tour short changed us. I had toured the campus before and we saw only 1/4 of what PCOM had to offer. This didn't hurt me because I knew what else they had. Be aware of this because they really have a lot of great facilities.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That all of the prospective students would be in a room together throughout the 3 hr interview process. There were 12 of us being interviewed and there were two groups of interviewers. We were picked from the group one by one. This was strange because you saw the other students as they came out of the interview... some happy some sad.

What are your general comments?

Breakfast 8am. Interview process started 9am. Lots of waiting for others to interview until 12. 12- tour of campus. Done at 1 pm. Go sit in on some classes while you are waiting. The students are willing to talk- and they are abundant.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
