How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

9 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Looked over my full application.

What impressed you positively?

The tour guide was full of enthusiasm and a lot of students dropped by to answer questions. The interviewers were nice enough.

What impressed you negatively?

The interview was so short, I didn't feel like they really were making an effort to get to know me. They asked me maybe 8-10 questions and I asked them 2. Then it was time to go.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That a 30 minute interview would fly by so quickly. I maybe would've tried to be a little more concise with my answers.

What are your general comments?

We spent a lot of the day chit-chatting with other interviewees, nice to get to know people. It seemed like the interview was only to make sure you're not a complete weirdo. They didn't have enough time to actually get to know you off paper. Overall it was a good experience though. The students all seem happy.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

All I would suggest is lengthening the interview, even though it may add stress for students!
