General questions and practicing responses

What impressed you positively?

The students were open and honest

What impressed you negatively?

The interview coordinators didn't apologize for the bus schedule for a tour of Detroit did not show up

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Don't be nervous, they want you at their school!

What are your general comments?

Some students discussed a cheating problem the school had and it was interesting how they are dealing with it (but they seemed that the problem is gone)

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

To be more prepared, there was a lot of things that went wrong but the first person I met from the school made a comment how "early" I was and proceeded to disappear to find more folders since she only had 2. It of course, is not a big deal. But it makes interviewers feel like we spent so much time and effort to be there and we are excited and then there's not a lot of effort by the school and you cant help but think they really don't care.
