What was the most interesting question?

It was not even a question - more of a statement. Something about knowing someone else from the same country I'm from (Ghana) who illegally married two women -- what I ask did this have to do with me? And what was the point of bringing it up?

None really -- the man seemed on a mission to upset me with snide comments about things i had no control over

What impressed you positively?

Some of the faculty that stopped by seemed really accomodating and very well versed in their fields

What impressed you negatively?

First of all they did not have ANY of my documents supposedly. The interview was supposed to be an open one but the interviewer did not have any of my info or my recommendation letters, transcripts, NOTHING. After checking with the Student Affairs "office" (a shambled mess of a place) I was told they did not have my info either!!! Why was I accepted for an interview then? Anyway I had to call my undergrad school to fax over the rest of the info I didn't have on me. The interviewer also sent the first 20 mins of the interview checking his email and replying them (interview was in his office)then he proceeded to eat his lunch for through the remainder of the interview.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The unsafe location of the school. That I would have been better off keeping my $ to myself instead of buying a plane ticket to get insulted
