No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read their website, reviewed my application, and of course looking at all the previous feedbacks.

What impressed you positively?

It's located in a small town. The facility looks relatively modern and up-to-date. Constructions were going on, which means they are doing well as an institution.

What impressed you negatively?

No student housing. Library is relatively small, lacking study space. Library hours are strange and short.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I have to agree with M.M.S, (hey M.M.S. you can contact me at [email protected]) make sure you have a lot of questions to ask them. I asked them three questions but they kept on asking is there anything else you want to ask? I said no cuz I couldn't think of anything else. Negative impression?

What are your general comments?

I was the last one to interview from the morning group (out of 5 guys). We were there at 8:00AM as instructed and were given the option to fill a form agreeing to have our pictures taken (individual pictures). The interview was more relaxing than the waiting part but it helps if you find something to do or someone to hang with to keep your mind off of it. I seem to connect really well with one of my interviewers. She backed me up on a lot of my reponses. I connected with the microbiology professor from the beginning until the last question. Damn! As for the other one she was nice but caught me off guard with a few comments/questions based on my previous reponses. Choose your words wisely!
