What impressed you positively?

My interviewer was VERY nice, and since I am a minority, I got to meet with other minorities and everyone was really cool. Students came to talk to us and most seemed like they really liked it.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

Two things: going out to check out Indianapolis. It almost seemed like a ghost town to me cause for some reason, there weren't too many people out. Also, there were SO many interviewees so everyone was just looking at each other as we waited, and it was kinda weird.

To bring more comfortable shoes, but I will remember them next time!

What are your general comments?

There are supposed to be 2 interviewers but I only had one, who was very nice and very interested. We had good conversation. The students were really pushing the school. I did not feel too stressed and the interview was a lot more relaxed than I had thought it would be.
