How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, general interview prep/advice.

What impressed you positively?

More than a handful of students stopped on their way to wish us luck and offer encouragement. Also, the campus is nicer than some others.

What impressed you negatively?

There wasn't really a presentation offered. We went right into tours, to a late breakfast and then interviews.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Not much. There weren't any surprises.

What are your general comments?

The interview day here was honestly a great experience. I never felt anxious except at the start of the interview and that went away immediately. The people (students, staff, DOs) were extremely nice, and the day wasn't overly long, although I wish there was a formal presentation at some point and also a chance to ask questions to the financial aid staff.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Please issue decisions by email, not by snail mail. Also to include a chance to talk with financial aid staff.
