What impressed you positively?

The tour guide was very nice and helpful and we go to go into a PIL classroom and talk with the students, they loved the program.

What impressed you negatively?

I had to go downtown on a shuttle that took 30 minutes, only 3 out of 15 or so interviewees had to go.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That the other interviewees were going to be so nice and friendly... that would have taken away a lot of stress.

What are your general comments?

Overall, It was a good experience, my interviewer was very nice and it ended up being more of a conversation with some questions thrown in. He was very interactive though and made me feel like I was answering the questions well. I also had an interview with a student who was quirky but very nice as well. We interviewed over lunch and he asked a few questions about me and what I do because this interview was closed file.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
