What impressed you positively?

The students were super friendly and most seemed genuinely happy. The faculty was great! Brian was really helpful and super funny, putting everyone at ease.

What impressed you negatively?

Discouraging - We were told how unlikely it was that any of us would get accepted. One student said that there was too much lab work - so much that it doesn't give you an edge, just a lot of wasted time. Scary surrounding area.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I thought we were going to have to write an essay, but they have cut that out of the process.

What are your general comments?

The group interview was different. I thought it was really comfortable, but still challenging because everyone kinda said the same thing. Therefore, you had to think fast to come up with something original - but it was good - the spontaneity made for some genuine responses which the interviewers like.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
