How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

9 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, ethics reading, mock interviews, reread secondary

What impressed you positively?

brand new research building was super nice (go to the special tour if you can), focus on community service, funding for international electives, decent cheap housing is provided, pure pass/fail for first two years, faculty and students seemed happy, my interviewer was VERY enthusiastic about the school, family friendly school

What impressed you negatively?

some of the buildings were a little run-down, some of the students I met did not seem too motivated

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

the bronx is not that scary, dont use the express train during rush hour (use the subway instead) to get to/from manhattan, there is no organized orientation or financial aid meeting so ask lots of questions to the interviewer and the tour guides!

What are your general comments?

I liked the school more than I thought I would. I had never been to the Bronx and did not find it as bad as people say. I had lunch and then a tour and then an interview. My interviewer was a talker and took me on another tour so I was with him for 2 hours. There is no specific meeting to talk and ask all your questions so do your research beforehand. The students were friendly and helpful and seemed happy about their decision to go to AECOM.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
