What impressed you positively?

Cincy is an incredibly underrated school for many reasons. I was particularly impressed with their facilities, curriculum, and research opportunities.

What impressed you negatively?

Great school, but it seemed to lack the gestalt of some other schools I have already visited. hard to put a finger on it exactly...

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish I would have known that my interview date was on a day when both 1st and 2nd year students had exams. Understandably, the tour seemed very brief and there was not much time for questions. Couldn't really accurately guage how the students liked the school because they were all too busy getting ready for and taking exams.

What are your general comments?

A very positive experience. My interviewer and I really seemed to click, and he gave me plenty of opportunities to present myself and accomplishments throughout our discussion
