Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

Academics are very strong here, students were open and friendly throughout the day. OMM demonstration was a nice change of pace compared with the rest of the day!

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

Campus seems a little old and behind in technology, longer than necessary interview day (especially the info session in the beginning), lunch should have been in a more relaxed setting. I prefer having interviews first thing, I was hot, tired, and had a headache by the time I had to interview. They should find a better setting for the interview day. That room was miserable and we spent way too much time in there.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That we would be sitting so long in an uncomfortable room.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

I hope they send us a survey about the interview day. This school was one of my top choices before the interview, but now I feel less inclined to go here. I know they are still strong academically and I would be happy there, but they really could have done a better job selling the school I think.
