No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Looked over my essays, SDN, reviewed the school's website, printed out information I wanted to reference.

What impressed you positively?

The interviewers were uber-friendly and seemed genuinely interested in what I had to say. Even the security guard was friendly!

What impressed you negatively?

The only negative was that we got lost on the highway and took the wrong exit. But that was our fault. :-P

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That there would be no guide to take us to class. Maybe I missed that information because I was late for the breakfast, but it would have been nice while I was waiting to know where to go.

What are your general comments?

I actually had a lot of fun at this interview. Everyone was cheerful and helpful, and it was especially interesting talking to my one interviewer, who was a PCOM grad and had the armed forces scholarship, so he was able to give me insight into the university as a military person.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
