How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, school's website, talked to student I stayed with, interview books

What impressed you positively?

Students, faculty, and staff seemed happy and all were friendly to me.

What impressed you negatively?

The massive construction zones, and the tour was short and uninteresting.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The construction is huge right now, and its hard to imagine the new facilities being completed and hassle-free in the near future. Also, interviews tend to expose weaknesses of an application instead of strengths, and I hadn't thought enough about how I would approach certain topics.

What are your general comments?

The interview was mostly relaxed, but it was hard to judge my performance because my interviewer dominated the conversation.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
