Its UCLA, so theres alot to be impressed with just by looking at the facilities. My student interviewer was one of the nicest people on the face of the earth.

What impressed you negatively?

The day lacked alot of what a typical interview has. there was no structured tour or presentation of any kind to do with housing or financial aid.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That my interview was going to be resceduled and I was going to miss my flight home.

What are your general comments?

overall, I think it was about my worst inteview day. I did pretty bad during the interview because it was pushed back and I was stress about missing my flight, so I think that hampered my experience. I didn't get to talk to too many students, but the ones I did talk to were nice. the Student interview is over lunch.
