What impressed you positively?

Pretty much everything, except for..

What impressed you negatively?

... the weather. It's pretty cold.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That U-M is so fast about making decisions after you interview. Otherwise, I probably wouldn't have waited as long as I did to schedule an interview (it would have been nice to alleviate the whole "am I even going to get into school?" stress earlier than I did).

What are your general comments?

Incredibly laid back, and very well put together. It's hard to get too worried about an interview that's only going to be 30 minutes long, although it does feel kind of odd to do three consecutive short interviews...

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
