How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

This site, Wake's site, read over personal statement (all the interviewers had read this)

What impressed you positively?

Everyone I met was kind, helpful, and encouraging - even my fellow interviewees. The school seemed to be very organized and focused on its students and curriculum. I also liked the Winston-Salem area in general.

What impressed you negatively?

The first year floor (classroom and small group rooms) was kind of dingy, definitely the low point of the tour.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That the Triad area of Winston-Salem, Greensboro, and High Point has a population of over 1 million. Also, Wake is in the midst of building a huge research park a few blocks from the school in downtown W-S.

What are your general comments?

2 of the 3 interview went very well, and the other was ok too, I just didn't click well with that interviewer. Each only touched on 2 or 3 topics and then it was over.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
