How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

practice interviews with vets, read up on current issues (made an outline), looked over my application, pretended to sleep, wore clean underwear.

What impressed you positively?

the interviewers were all very nice and treated me like a peer.

What impressed you negatively?

very brief. you interview and that's basically it.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

the interviewers will stay in the room after you're done, so don't try to be courteous and let them go out first. they'll stand and lead you to the door, so it may look like they are also leaving, but they aren't. I felt a lil' silly after that.

What are your general comments?

it was very brief. pretty relaxed. they asked open ended questions about my experiences. ''tell me about....'' ''how do you feel about...'' they never tried to challenge me on anything I said. I thought they would be harder on me.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
