No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

talked to friends that had been through the process, this website, prepared myself to talk about PHR and ISI.

What impressed you positively?

warmth of the faculty, students' seemingly genuine enthusiasm and excitement about the school. committed to social justice ("and that's not just lip service.")

What impressed you negatively?

throughout the interview i became aware of how the school is 85% comprised of white 23 yr olds. they certainly dont have to the right to boast of any kind of diversity, and it's one of the few institutions that doesnt seem to care. my tour guide told me that the students have brought that issue up with the administration and they were snubbed without much reason as to why. i know there's a strong connection to notre dame, and they really havent shown the nation much to be proud of in terms of racial sensitivity. i dont know if it would factor into my decision to attend, but it gives me pause at the least.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

that the "right on 290" they told me to make on the map really was a LEFT. be responsible for your own directions and leave EARLY.

What are your general comments?

positive, overall. when people rave about the facilities, you have to see it to believe it. tight knit community, it seems.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
