How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Studentdoc.net, Rush website, talked to friends who interviewed there, practiced sample questions.

What impressed you positively?

The faculty and the students flat out love it there.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing!

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Traffic was a nightmare. Arrive the night before if you're driving. I hit fog and black ice conditions. I doubled my trip time and still arrived 15 minutes late for orientation. Granted, I had the worst luck ever but still. Don't make the mistake I did.

What are your general comments?

Out of the 3 schools I've interviewed at so far, it was my favorite. The faculty aren't paid to teach. They are paid to do research but the teaching is voluntary. Many faculty stick around for long periods of time, because they like it there so much.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
