What impressed you positively?

Facilities were much better than I imagined they would be. Students were enthusiastic about the program. Were very adamant that Hopkins is not as "cutthroat" as it is made out to be.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Baltimore is COLD (at least, it was when I was there).

What are your general comments?

I arrived a bit early and then waited around in a room with the other applicants for about an hour. We then moved to a conference room for an hour of lunch and talking to faculty and 4th year students who were not involved with the admissions process. Then a tour with a 4th year. We were then returned to the waiting room and were met by 4th years who were part of the admissions process and were called away to do interviews with students or faculty one-by-one. A long day.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
