How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read up on health care in the news, reread my essays, SDN interview responses for current popular questions, got some sleep.

What impressed you positively?

The school is moving, and modifying it's curriculum. The entering class 2004 will do year 1 at the old campus and year 2 at the new campus, and be subjects in the curriculum modifications. Going here will be a challenge, but rewarding.

What impressed you negatively?

There is a lot, I mean a lot of down time between the interviews and lunch/tour, about 90 minutes. The staff was around to answer questions, but there weren't enough for 90 minutes. The tour is worthwhile, so duck out and get some Starbuck's across the street and relax while you .wait

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Not much, I am a state applicant and keep up with the status of the school.

What are your general comments?

Overall a good experience. Relatively low stress interviews with older more comfortable (for applicants) interviewers. Be sure to tour the new campus since you will be spending 75% of your school career there.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
