No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

This school is very unique. Many applicants are intimidated by the service committment and the military basis of this school. Fortunately, I was made to feel very relaxed and I learned a lot about all the benefits that come with the school.

What impressed you positively?

The students loved their school! Not a single person seemed stressed out nor did I hear anyone complain. It seemed like everybody was working together through their classes.

What impressed you negatively?

My wife came with me onto the base she toured the campus with me. Although the admissions said that she was fine, I got some weird looks and statements regarding her presence.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

You should be over confident and talkative in your interviews especially with anyone from the military. Give them something good to write on their evaluation sheet.

What are your general comments?

Relaxed, maybe too relaxed. Both interviewers recommended me for acceptance, but they both wrote in their evaluations that I was very well-mannered and quiet, and I did not "brag" enough about my accomplishments.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
