Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

How friendly and helpful the staff was. One of my interviews ran late, and I missed my tour. I went to the office of admissions and they helped me find the tour while giving me a mini tour themselves.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

The facilities are a bit old.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I had to walk across the street to the VA hospital to get to one of my interviews. Also, the day really does run from 8am-5pm non-stop, so be prepared!

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

Both of my interviewers were really friendly and helpful. They just wanted to get to know me as a person. One of my interviewers choose not to read a lot of my file because he thought it was better to get to know the student face to face, and then read the application to learn more afterward. I thought it was a cool idea and it was nice to not feel like I was repeating things that he had already read about.
