SDN, website

What impressed you positively?

The location is great!

What impressed you negatively?

Too many people from U of I at the school, it takes a long time to give you a final answer, my interviewers were sort of distant and not very warm, it seemed like commuting to the school would be a suicidal idea

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Wear warmer shoes

What are your general comments?

The admissions office was very warm and friendly. The interviews were rapid fire questions. There were 25 people total being interviewed. The interviews were done first so you could relax and enjoy the tour and extra info.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Some interviewers are harder than others. Try to standardize the process.
