How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN. Read up on ethics. OSU website.

What impressed you positively?

Facilities and students. OSU is already great but continuing to strive for more improvement in all areas. It would be great to go there.

What impressed you negatively?

Not much. Some of Columbus seemed a little dreary. There was also some issue about a recent dip in board scores.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I didn't know anything about the school before...but everything seemed really great. On a side note, the class is huge ~ 210, and last year's class had 140 men and only 70 women. I had never heard of any school having those demographics.

What are your general comments?

Arrive at ~ 9:30 soaking wet and looking pretty awful due to the rain. Ushered up to a huge board room. Listen to a couple of deans and a 4th year sell the school. Lunch with 1st and 2nd year students. Short tour. Wait around for interview. The interviewer was great. He had thoroughly looked at my app and asked great questions. Not stressfull at all and made me feel great about the experience. Then went back to hang out with student host (which I also reccomend).

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
