SDN, U. Vermont website

What impressed you positively?

Nothing really.

What impressed you negatively?

The school overall claims to be a genuinely friendly, non-competitive environment. However, my interview was extremely cut-throat, and my interviewer seemed to dislike me and be biased against me from the very start. In reality, the school almost seemed a bit... communistic. Any sort of competitiveness or desire to accel was looked at negatively. Everyone is discouraged from studying alone. You are supposed to do just as well as everyone else, not any better.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing.

What are your general comments?

Interviewer was very negative and condescending. U. Vermont should considering replacing my interviewer because of she was insulting and discouraging. Bad image for U. Vermont.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
