What impressed you negatively?

just the length of time you sit during the morning, really nerve wracking waiting to be called for your interview.That you dont get out of there when you expect to, book your flights out of chicago late, I missed mine!

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

nothing, everything was as expected

What are your general comments?

It was great we got there in the morning, they provided us with breakfast to pass the time, sat in a group with the rest of the people being interviewed for the better half of the morning waiting to be interviewed. The waiting was nerve-wracking but gave us all a chance to meet with the rest of the group and get to know them. I had 2 interviews, one with a student and one with a faculty. They were both really laid back and asked no tricky questions. After our interviews you go on a tour of the school with a tour guide who is a student, that gives you a great idea of what the students think about the school. They provide you with meal tickets, so lunch is on them. After that you are free to go.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
