No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Re-read my primary and secondary application, read feedback on SDN, read school website.

What impressed you positively?

Did a good job making me feel like they were recruiting me, good presentations, lunch was very nice (tasty!)

What impressed you negatively?

paying for parking at College Station campus (but that's an A&M thing, even for prospective undergrad students), first interviewer harped on my grades and MCAT (when all I heard in the opening presentation was how A&M wanted to get to know me as a person, beyond my grades)

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

They are increasing the class size. This means there will be 3 possible tracks: CS all 4 years, CS for 2 and Temple for 2, and Temple for all 4 years.

What are your general comments?

Kind of a long day (began at 7am, ended at about 5 pm). Overall, it gave me a very good view of the school and their motivations. Had a panel of 2nd yrs that spoke to our group in the morning and a handful of 3rd and 4th yrs at Temple who took us around Scott and White. Didn't see too many other students which kept me from asking questions of students who may have a different view of the school.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
