What impressed you positively?

maryland was already high on my list, but the students seemed very happy, and every one that i approached was perfectly willing to give me their two sense about the school. at lunch, a pretty large number of students showed up and stayed, even if they didn't get food. also, they only have 2 hours of lecture a day!

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

the grading system, but what most students i talked to said that unless you want to do one of the really competitive programs, you can coast through with b's and it doesn't matter.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

the financial aid session was very informative, and i learned a lot about that process. i

What are your general comments?

you arrive at your assigned time, and you may either have interviews in the morning or afternoon. you have a financial aid session (which was really well done) and an introduction with dr. foxwell (the assoc. dean of admission- really nice, too). after that is lunch with the students (i don't know what happened to the other posters on here, but we got both halves of the sandwich) and then a tour with a fourth year. the interviewers were very laid back and even though my first interviewer made me late for my second interview, he called ahead to say that i was on my way and that it was his fault. my second interview was really conversational and seemed more like recruitment more than anything else. once you have finished your interviews, you are free to go.
