How did you prepare for the interview?

Browsed through the website (not helpful), read the entries on this website.

What impressed you positively?

The deans' office seems very open to the students, offering a tight-knit feeling to the school. Students stopped by to talk with the deans randomly, and everyone seemed very enthusiastic about the school.

What impressed you negatively?

I heard from several students that they are really screwed when it comes to health insurance. Students can't get prescription medicine they need and they say they're paying thousands a year for coverage. You can see some bitterness in the students with that regard.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

The interviews were easy, to say the least. My open-file interviewer didn't ask me a single question about myself really. He almost seemed to assume I was in for sure. My closed-file interviewer just chatted with me about the school and health care.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
