SDN, BMS website, read through my application.

What impressed you positively?

Responsiveness of administration; administration's support of students; the number of faculty and amount of resources per student.

Focus on school rankings by students and admissions staff; didn't click well with admissions dean.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

I really enjoyed the two faculty members who interviewed me. They had clearly read my application carefully and did not shy away from asking direct questions. Maybe it was the early morning meeting time, but the students we met didn't strike me as particularly interesting. I was really impressed with the amount of resources Brown has to offer.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
