What impressed you positively?

PBL seems to be a very strong and useful approach to learning that the other students enjoyed. The athletic center is unbelievable!

What impressed you negatively?

I had an aggressive interviewer that seemed to challenge me on whether I would even consider accepting an offer from Mizzou. I didn't like feeling singled-out for having an application above their averages. Also, my interview day lasted late (until 6:30 pm), but that was very circumstantial and my last interview was very enjoyable (1.5 hours worth!)

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

Overall, it went very well. Most of the interviews are very conversational and very pleasant. I had one interview that was a bit aggressive, but not in demeaning me....more in recruiting me...

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
