✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read some SDN. Basically just went over my answers for the common questions.

What impressed you positively?

The facilities, the amount of money the school throws at the students (they give money to first years after exams to buy beer and throw parties), and mostly the type of kids that go there. I was expecting really dorky students but the people there were really laid back and personable for the most part. Definetly can see myself fitting in there.

What impressed you negatively?

The residence hall leaves a lot to be desired but a lot of students live off campus and rent is supposedly cheap so its not all bad.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That it gets cold in St. Louis this time of year.

What are your general comments?

Very laid back, and enjoyable. A lot of free food and cool people for the most part. St. Louis is not exactly a college town but the positives definetly outweight the negatives in this case.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
