What was the most difficult question?
You have applied to other schools, so if you had acceptances from WCUCOM and other schools how would you choose where to attend?
What impressed you positively?
Friendliness of absolutely EVERYONE in the COM. From the facility who stopped and talked to the applicants while we waiting, to the students who spent time answering any and every question we could pose.
What impressed you negatively?
The undergraduate WCU is a little different then what I expected and we did not hear much about it and its interactions with the COM. The area around WCUCOM was a little run down.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
Interviews are at the end of the day and the sooner you go the sooner you get done with the interview day. Volunteer to go first!!!!!!m Or bring a computer to entertain yourself for a few hours.
