Report Response | I was asked this too

What was the most difficult question?

If all the schools you applied to accepted to you, where will you go and why? I was tempted to say KCUMB, but I chose to say MSUCOM b/c it will grant me in-state tuition.

How did you prepare for the interview?

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

The students were enthusiastic, but honest. The facilities were impressive, and I particularily like the study halls which have study rooms with plenty of room and a computer. The apartments located nearby (which they gave me a tour) were impressive as well (they had an excersise room, study hall, and the rooms were cute).

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

The campus appears to be in a somewhat bad part of the neighbor hood; however, if you play it smart, I don't feel it'll be much of an issue. The school is also large and some classes like anatomy and microbiology will be taught by professor via television screens. This may be bad for students who prefer smaller classes.
