How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, read the PBL literature the school sent me and that's it.

What impressed you positively?

The facilities are immaculate! I felt like the faculty in general was very approachable. The PBL session really impressed me!

What impressed you negatively?

The day was entirely too long - From 7:45 to about 3:00. Further, there was alot of ''fluff'' in the day. Ex - 30 to 45 minutes going through a rental guide with an admissions person telling us what apartments are good and a 30 to 45 minute meeting with financial aide telling us how much debt we'll be in when I graduate from school. No doubt this is valuable info (except I don't want to think about $200K in student loans or the $3K a month over 10 years i'll have to cough up to pay it), but I'll corss that bridge when I get there and would have rather been done 1 or 2 hours sooner!

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

Good interview overall. read the questions on SDN - they read the same questions off of a standard sheet for every interview. A long day!

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Shorten the inteview day!
