How nice everyone was. When we were sitting around waiting for the interview, people would stop by and ask if we had questions.

What impressed you negatively?

The admissions office mixed my first interview up, and I ended up losing about 20 minutes off the time for my interview. My second interviewer asked me about 3 questions, and then just sat there and mumbled about the school. I feel like he didn't learn anything from me at all.

Great school, I hope I'm accepted!
