What impressed you positively?

"Everything. Great location, students were happy, faculty was happy, security guards were happy, EVERYONE was happy! I was lost on my way to my interviewer's office and a random staff member, without my prompting, came to help me--again, EVERYONE is happy here. A light breakfast was available--not all schools do this anymore so it was great. Lunch was super delicious, cookies and coffee/tea were a nice touch. Students were honest about the strengths and weaknesses of the school and their experience. Everyone seems extremely loyal to the school though, students, faculty, and administrators. Also, this school tried to sell itself. Some schools don't even have the dean show up or think you should know the caliber of their school so they don't even try. Jefferson is already a great school but they made it clear that this process really is a two way street, they want you coming out of the day feeling like they courted you. Honestly, this was a fantastic interview day." Report Response

What impressed you negatively?

"While the day was very tightly planned, in a good way (many other schools have you sitting around in a conference room for hours), I would have appreciated more opportunities for a bathroom break. Also, while not particularly negative, more time for the tour would have been nice as it is always great to see facilities, hospitals, etc." Report Response

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

"Given the feedback, I knew this was going to be a stress free day so I would just pass on that this is truly the case. Know yourself, know your application, be ready to just be pleasant and get to know everyone." Report Response
