What impressed you positively?

The history of the school was actually interesting. If I remember correctly they have the most alumni of any school. The campus is relatively confined even though it is in the city. The research program seems exceptional.

What impressed you negatively?

They didn't show any labs or research facilities on the tour.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

They are building a new integrated sciences facility that will be completed for the 2007-2008 school year.

What are your general comments?

The interview was very conversational and low key. I wasn't grilled, the interviewer seemed like he just wanted to find out who I was. The ADCOM is very friendly and approachable. The interviewer definatly studied my file beforehand and had specific questions in mind - know your application well.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
