What impressed you positively?

The staff and students are soooooo nice and friendly. They really, really try to make you feel comfortable and at ease. The facilities are amazing, brand new.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How unstressful the day would end up being.

What are your general comments?

Overall I think things went relatively well. I buzzed through the first 4 standardized questions in 10 minutes, but luckily they kept asking me more informal follow up questions so the interview still ended up lasting the 25-30 minutes. All the faculty, staff and students I interviewed with were super nice and low key.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
