10 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, reviewed my file, talked with my advisor.

What impressed you positively?

The students were very friendly and willing to offer advice. The admissions staff was awesome as well.

What impressed you negatively?

There was very little mention of financial aid. As an out-of-state applicant it was discouraging to only be given a pamphlet.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

They would be taking our pictures.

What are your general comments?

I felt like I was in a good cop, bad cop situation throughout the interview. It was not a comfortable conversation like I had read in other postings. I felt like I was being interrogated. I went home feeling discouraged, with no hope, but three weeks later I was accepted.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Nothing, Annette and Angie are both great!
