✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

I actually did not really prepare. I had been on multiple interviews and this was my last one. I had multiple acceptances so I felt encouraged by that.

What impressed you positively?

The admissions staff, the students, facilities. This was probably the best interview day I had. We had a lot of time to mingle with current students and there were a variety of them available to answer questions. There were also several giving tours so the tour groups were smaller and we could ask more questions.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That I would have been as interested in this school as I ended up being. I decided last minute to attend the interview and am glad I did.

What are your general comments?

The school was very responsive to emails. The students were honest and available to tell us the details about their experience. The facilities were great. The location is good. There is so much opportunity for research and the PhD in charge of a lot of research was VERY approachable. She said any questions were not off limits, at the interview and by email, including Cleveland questions. Fantastic experience. This school is making plenty of changes for the better.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
