✅ 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?

sdn, reviewing my primary and secondary applications, practicing interview questions with my significant other, practiced speaking clearly and without ''ums'', ''uhs'', ''likes'', or pronouncing words incorrectly.

What impressed you positively?

Speaking with the Dean positively impressed me and I enjoyed how the interview was more like a conversation rather than a grueling questioning session. Also, there were at least three students who stopped by to say Hi and to answer questions, then two different students took us on the tour.

What impressed you negatively?

The financial aid presentation. Its a lot of money and I was not very encouraged about my ability to be financially secure through out the next four years.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That we would be sitting for a long time. Also, I wish I would have known that I was going to have a place to put my belongings while I was there. I came prepared for everything when I didn't even need to.

What are your general comments?

I was very nervous about my interview initially, but as soon as it started I became much more relaxed because of the lack of pressure that I felt. I truely felt that I could express myself freely. It was just a conversation and by the end I could barely remember the distict questions they asked me. They all kinda ran together. Very pleasant visit.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
