The interview environment was designed to minimize stress on the part of the applicant. The other students selected for interviews were all very outgoing and friendly.

What impressed you negatively?

The GIANT tuition for out of state applicants.

Nothing.

What are your general comments?

Being my first interview, the University of Colorado gave me a very stress free introduction to the process. I was truly surprised at how friendly all the other applicants were and how easily we all got along. The whole interview day (including tour and lunch) does get a little tiring by the end of the day though as the adrenaline leaves your body. Getting the nerve wracking part out of the way in the morning is a great idea however.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
