Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

The research opportunities seem impressive. The facilities are beautiful. The students/profs/committee members are all very friendly. There is a note-taking service and mp3s of each lecture, wireless internet, and awesome simulation labs. The neighborhood is safe and friendly.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

Not much was done to sell the school. Maybe they assumed that since we were ED, we already knew the selling points. It would have been nice to hear why the admissions committe thought it was great, too! And how do I put this...sometimes the tone taken with us was reminiscent of high school.
