No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read the questions on this website, read general interview questions, knew my file backwards and forwards.

What impressed you positively?

The staff of the institution. They were very friendly and eager to help in whatever way they could.

What impressed you negatively?

The drive to Shreveport, and DON'T stay at the Howard Johnson Express, it's in a bad section of town.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Be relaxed. Don't be intimidated. They usually want more of a conversial interview than an interrogation. Be yourself!

What are your general comments?

Overall the experience went very well. The interviewers were very nice, polite, and understanding of the situation. They would go out of their way to help you. The interviews consisted of two blind interviews and one open book. On my open book interview, the interviewer didn't even ask me anything about my file. He read through it and said everything looked good, then asked me what I thought about LSU football and the new coach. Very laid back.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
