How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, my own personal statement

What impressed you positively?

200/day b/w and 20/day color print outs that are free, non competitive environment (>90=honors, 85-90=high satisfactory, >65=satisfactory, <65=unsatisfactory....so, there is no reason to compete with your fellow students).

What impressed you negatively?

My second interviewer who wasn't attentive.....looked like it was past his bedtime....rubbing of his eyes, wandering eyes....I must have not been interesting enough or he just was too tired......of the two interview, this one only lasted 15 min while the first one lasted 30-35 min.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I don't think I would have liked living away from family/friends where my other acceptance is at. This visit made me realize this.

What are your general comments?

Hellish questions.....describe the theory of muscle contraction, kreb cycle, explain a situation when you stood up for something you believed in which disadvantaged you, what do you know about the east coast (I'm from the West), why did it take so long for you to graduate, why didn't you apply a year ago etc.....I was grilled
