How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

How did you prepare for the interview?

I filled a shoe box with questions and went around my house asking my roommates to draw a question from the box

What impressed you positively?

They seemed really enthusiastic about the school, like they were trying to convince you to go there and not the other way around

What impressed you negatively?

The sinking feeling when I realized that I was going to end up living in Michigan my entire life. Don't get me wrong, Ann Arbor is lots of fun, but I have lived in the area my ENTIRE life and it would be nice to live somewhere else for a little while.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

You can pack a pair of comfy shoes in your bag. After your interview you are off the record so you can change into more comfortable shoes for the remainder of the day

What are your general comments?

My first interviewer was pretty typical. He just asked me about my activities, my research, and volunteering. It was really low-key. With my second interviewer it was like I couldn't say anything wrong. Everything I said he enthusiastically agreed with. With my third interviewer it was like I couldn't say anything right. Everything I said she was very critical of. So basically I got a completely different vibe from each of my interviewers. I had it a little bit weird though because I had 3 faculty interviews and most people get 2 faculty and 1 student.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
