What impressed you negatively?

A presentation by a student focused on the social side of the school very heavily.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That they do not allow out-of-state students to become residents after one year. Places school way out of my price range.

Relaxed. Had some tough questions that the interviewers were trying to pin me down on, but they were all really friendly. The whole thing felt very positive.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Screen the student presentation that goes on during lunch. It may put people off who are not concern
