School was very communicative, and the interviews felt absolutely wonderful. It felt more like a casual conversation than a typical grilling.

The process itself was quite long, with the interviews taking place on the admissions day.

Be prepared to sit for a long while

What are your general comments?

The best institution that I have interviewed with thus far. Everyone is exceedingly polite, jovial, and genuinely passionate about the University of Maryland. With no holds barred, one of the best schools you can go to on the east coast.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

It may not be a bad idea to seperate the interviews and the admissions presentation. Over all, the process itself was absolutely wonderful and fun.
