✅ 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?

Studied up on the school, their program, curriculum, history...etc. I also practiced the typical interview questions, of which I think I was asked half.

What impressed you positively?

The interview itself was very laid back and conversational. Being that this was my first interview, it really helped me ease into the whole process, which I liked.

What impressed you negatively?

It didn't seem to be well organized. The student body president came and spoke to us, and he seemed a little scattered. Plus, everything was really difficult to find on the campus. There weren't any signs showing where to go.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How informal the actual interview was. I would have relaxed a little bit more ahead of time had I known.

What are your general comments?

I think it was a good place to start for my first interview. It was laid back, informal and very inviting. Yet, it was in the middle of nowhere and I didn't get a that communal feeling that most universities have.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
