What impressed you positively?

The automated dummy

What impressed you negatively?

I was surprised our tour guide actually went to the school! She was a fourth year and knew absolutely nothing - like if the classrooms had wireless internet connection or what time the library closes (she says 10 but i doubt it..). Why would a school ask a mediocre student to represent them?

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish I had stayed longer to meet more students. The ones that the school picked for us to meet over lunch all seemed uninteresting and knew little besides their own experiences (which were rather mediocre). No one was super excited to be there.

What are your general comments?

My interview was great. I felt that matched me with an interviewer who shared my interests in research. Overall a good interview. Can't say much more about the rest of the day. My tour was so uninformative. At one point, we walked through the hospital and I had no idea what I was supposed to be looking at..

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
