The admissions staff and faculty seemed very enthusiastic about the school.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

They don't tell you who your interviewers are and when your interviews will take place. It was kind of suspenseful.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

They make you walk a lot on the tour. My legs were sore later that night.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

You start with the tour. Right before lunch, they make you answer a question on paper (they give you 5-10min). It was like having a pop quiz. But it wasn't that bad- my question was, What was one of the biggest challenges you have had to face? Afterward, they move you to the student lounge where they have a huge TV, pingpong, pool...pretty nice, really. We watched the post-election news. You don't have to worry about finding your way around because the interviewers pick you up and drop you off. Both my interviewers were both really sweet and conversational (i had a 2nd year student and a "compliance officer"- some kind of lawyer). The lawyer and I seemed to have a lot in common, and she loved me. After all the interviews were over, all of the interviewers and the admissions staff gathered in a room to discuss. This is one of the few schools where the interviewer has to make a presentation about you in front of the admissions people.
