No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read SDN, read site, prepared for questions.

What impressed you positively?

Facilities, people generally nice and enthusiastic, very in-depth info sessions. Their student center is nicer than most private gym chains. Carrels.

What impressed you negatively?

My first interviewer was a frank person and she said there's not much in Dallas to attract someone out-of-state. Also that there's not much chance to do research. Everyone else had a common background being from Texas and I was warned that it was very conservative there.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

Quite easy-going. I didn't like that they both asked about the other schools I was applying to, I guess it helps them size you up and seems to be common practice there.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
