What impressed you positively?
A&M has a tradition of being a family atmosphere and graduates
seem very loyal and I could see better where that originates from. Most everyone was open and helpful.
What impressed you negatively?
I rated the interviews negatively, but it was really only the final interview that was not positive. This was my first interview day, so I was nervous. However, I interviewed with a doctor that offered no visual feedback during the interview and that was a little difficult to deal with. I tried to anticipate the various personalities that you might encounter, but a stone faced interviewer who would continue to stare even after you finished your answer was quite different for me. I had to fight the urge to continue talking after my answer was complete. Since that was my last contact with the school before I left for the day, I didn't know what to make of it on the way home.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
It is a longer day, so rest up.
What are your general comments?
As mentioned, I left the school with a strange feeling that originated with the final interview and it caused me to feel differently about the school as a whole. The school is a fine facility and it could be that I just had a unusual experience.
