No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Reviewed personal statement (this is all they have), looked up questions on sdn

What impressed you positively?

The students were friendly, we got to see pretty much everywhere the MSI and II's spend their time. I also liked the cirriculum.

What impressed you negatively?

The financial aid people couldn't be there that day, so that info session was conducted by someone from admissions, who didn't seem to know a whole lot about it

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing really. As previously described, the admissions office is tricky to find, but the security people along the way were pretty helpful.

What are your general comments?

It was my first interview so I don't have much to compare it to, but it seemed like a nice place and I will seriously consider coming here if I get in. Everyone was very friendly and relaxed.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
