No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Website, MSAR, and conversations with students.

What impressed you positively?

The campus is probably the most beautiful in the US. The Office of Student Affairs was far more personable than the other schools I've been too. I've interviewed at several top ten schools and this was all around the best experience.

What impressed you negatively?

Absolutely nothing.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing.

What are your general comments?

Excellent interview experience. This university is perfect. The landscape is awesome, the buildings are beautiful, and the people on the West coast were so much nicer than the people at the other schools I've been to (New England). The financial aid advisor sat with everyone individually rather than giving a presentation. The people who designed the curriculum did the same.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
