The friendly admissions staff and the nice location.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That the questions were so basic. There was no ethical questions. Basically it was just them trying to get to know me.

What are your general comments?

I was very nervous at the beginning. Which is probably a common event for everyone. But as time passed, it became a conversation and everything was smooth. Dulles airport is an hour away from the school so make travel arrangements wisely! I stayed at a hotel near the airport and the next day I drove to Winchester for my interview. I gave myself plenty of time and was an hour early for my interview. I got an email a week later saying that I was accepted!

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
