Don't waste applicant's time!

What would be something unique that you could bring to our program?

How unorganized the interview process was.

THAT IT WAS GOING TO TAKE 3 HOURS!!!!!!!!

First of all, I was very disappointed that the email inviting me for an interview only allowed for a 30 minute time slot, yet we were there for 3 hours. Despite the misleading email, those 3 hours were not used effectively. Why would you make each student should wait for everyone else to finish their personal 30 minute interview before moving on? And during the waiting process, you repeated the same topics over and over again by different members of the staff. It felt like the process was thrown together at the last minute, and not calculated based upon time. It was very unprofessional. The worst part of this experience, was the fact that I had brought my parents with me to the interview because we had traveled out of state for this one event. They were only allowed to mingle in the lobby, and they were told that they would be invited to tour the school with us once we reached that step in the interview process. By the time we finished.... 3 hours later, all of the parents had left to go back to their hotel. I'm highly disappointed, and you should really rethink your interview process before more students are invited back. (It's not like this was your first week of interviews!)
