How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN + it wasn't my first interview

What impressed you positively?

The students seemed to like it (but I wasn't very impressed with the students, so I could not see myself liking it)

What impressed you negatively?

My interviewer was very inappropriate and offensive; it was also obvious that he had not read my application carefully (or maybe at all)

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Take dental floss in case you get something stuck in your teeth during lunch, since your interviews are right after lunch.

What are your general comments?

I did not like the way the day was set up: about an hour of introduction/lecture by one person (who told too much extraneous information about back in the day, etc.) The financial aid session was informative, but then we had a tour, then lunch, and then we are supposed to have 3 interviews (I only had 2 -- my professor did the 2nd and 3rd). I also noticed that all the waiting rooms were virtually completely empty (on a Monday morning!) and all the facutly members were very old, which can be problematic if you are a female or a minority and they still hold very outdated beliefs (as was the case with my interviewer). My interview was pretty ridiculous.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
