this site, ucla website, other interviews before this...

What impressed you positively?

the students seem happy. the tour guides seem very enthusiastic about the school. they were selling the school to me and i think it kind of worked. they increased the lunch voucher from $5 to $10 this year.

What impressed you negatively?

the traffic. the classroom descriptions (typical standard classroom), they only give you a $50 printing card (opposed to free printing at other campuses), no information session about financial aid, no regents scholarship...

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

that i didnt have a student interviewer &amp; what time i was going to be done at.

What are your general comments?

my interview was at 10am, so the letter said to arrive at 9:45. my interview was taking place a distance from the admissions office, so i was glad i came early. interviewed for about 55 mins. lunch and tour was at 12. four MS1 gave us the tour (only about 5 of us interviewed that day). went to buy and eat lunch and the day ended at a little before 2pm.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
