What impressed you positively?

I didn't see any of the stereotypes that are commonly spoken about this school. the students seemed happy and enjoyed the company of their classmates.

What impressed you negatively?

The touting of the 4 nobel laureates, trying to dispel stereotypes, etc.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That the interviews wereheld at the beginning of the day without any opportunity to talk to the other applicants and get relaxed prior to the interviews. I wasnt relaxed enough and it felt that I was stiff for my interviews.

What are your general comments?

Overall, a very good experience. The day started with an orientation, then the group was split up...half went on a tour, half interviewed. Very nice facilities and very nice people. Nothing too bad about the entire experience...i wish there was more time to get to know some of the interviewees prior to giong to interview...it would have loosened me up and been a little less tense when interviewing. The interviews were with 2 people...one had an open file, the other was closed.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
