Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

Lots of talk about moving downtown to a newer and more advanced campus

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

Lots of talk about moving and using better campus (CAMLS + new building), but not actually showing us what it looks like, etc Interview day seemed pretty rushed--as if the admissions officers were just going through the motions and trying to get us in and out as fast as possible. Tone of voice for some of the administrative things they talked about was pretty negative: "If you are put on the waitlist, DO NOT send us updates. We do not want them"

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

I was impressed with USF on a prior visit because of their positive energy and great campus. Definitely did not feel the same way on this interview day--what a shame.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Prepare umbrellas for interviewees in case it rains. Flip the schedule so that interviews are in the morning--will have a more enjoyable and stress-free afternoon for tours, etc. Don't make the lunch a panel with the office of financial aid and just have one of them come talk to us after interviews, etc.
