How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

this website, application, school's website, read the materials they gave us when we got there (this was probably the most helpful)

What impressed you positively?

how hard they try to emphasize primary care. even though not many of their students go on to practice in primary care, they still emphasize it a lot

What impressed you negatively?

it seemed like a laid-back atmosphere, but maybe a little too laid-back. i didn't feel a lot of motivation from everyone, but maybe i was biased by everything i had read on this website

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Even though one person had already warned everyone about the bad driving directions, I didn't think it would apply to me since I was coming from a different direction. I was wrong. I suggest printing out directions from Mapquest or something and then using their directions once you get to the campus.

What are your general comments?

Overall, I thought it was a very good day. In fact, maybe too short. I wish we would have had more time to talk to the student who came to speak to us in the morning. I actually liked the housing. It did have a collegey feel to it, but you just can't beat furnished apartments. And yeah, it's not that close to the city, but what did people expect? You should know where you're applying before you apply there.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
