What impressed you positively?

The facilities are fabulous and everyone was very friendly and welcoming. The admissions and faculty that we met tried very hard to show us that UNLV is an innovative and dynamic school that cares about its students.

What impressed you negatively?

The school environment is extremely hectic...I don't think that is a negative thing, only that it seems as though if you go there, you better really be on top of your game if you want to survive.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

We got the chance to have lunch (unsupervised) with several DS1's and DS2's for about 45 minutes...I wish I had had thought of more questions to ask them ahead of time.

What are your general comments?

The day was well-organized and the presentations by admissions and faculty were very informative. While both my interviewers were somewhat challenging, they were also very positive and encouraging. Both my interviews ended with: "We really want to see you here next year..." (!)

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
