What impressed you positively?

The Assistant Dean of Admissions is incredibly friendly and made me feel immediately comfortable. She also gave me a bit of background information about my interviewers before I met them, which I really appreciated. The atmosphere in the admissions office feels almost casual, and the interviews felt more like conversations than a Q&A session.

What impressed you negatively?

Parking is nearly impossible! Arrive early and use the free valet service!

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish that I had prepared questions for my interviewers, because both of them expected me to ask just as many of them as they did of me.
