What impressed you positively?

"The campus is beautiful. The students are extremely nice and more than willing to help each other out. It's a very friendly environment, and a nice moderate-sized campus city." Report Response

What impressed you negatively?

"My interviewer was not very friendly. She was late for the interview, she didn't introduce herself or offer any sort of greeting, just started firing off questions right away. She was not even a health professional." Report Response

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

"That non-health professionals also conduct interviews. Everyone I had talked to and all the reviews I read said that the interviewers were extremely friendly, but I ended up with a very rude one....so be prepared for both." Report Response

What are your general comments?

"I was not terribly impressed by the interview itself. My interviewer asked me thought-provoking questions, but was very brisque and not very welcoming. Other than that, I still have an overall positive opinion of the school because the other people are just so incredibly friendly, and the campus is really a nice place." Report Response
