What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

What are your hobbies? Why do you want to attend OSU? There was a question about my letter of rec, which I tried to explain that I couldn't answer because they were confidential letters that I had not read. However, they went right down the AMCAS asking about my activities.

The student hosts that I stayed with the night before. They picked me up at the airport. Fed me. Took me to a get together. Took me to the interview and back to the airport. No money spent except for the plane ride and a thank you gift for the hosts.

What impressed you negatively?

Two of the three scheduled presenters didn't show up. Admissions officer had to wing it for two hours. Student led tours were horrendous. "This is a lab, this is a library, lets go back it's cold." When I inquired about the new heart hospital, "yeah, there's beds in there, sick people, that kinda thing."

What are your general comments?

The interviewer was from a pacific rim country. It was incredibly difficult to understand anything that they said. It was also tough to be sure that I was understood. After the interview, I am no longer interseted in this school. Questions do come off of a form, be prepared for the ones you read here. Hopefully OSU's admissions office reads these too and can improve for next year.
