9 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

9 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

reviewed my answers to standard inty q's, looked on SDN feedback, read their website

What impressed you positively?

Dean Kasberg's mini - interview before the actual interview, and the fact that he and one of my inty's knew my file's info cold (school, background, RC DAT score!)

What impressed you negatively?

as per usual, age of the building, and cost. Students and city aren't too diverse too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That it'd be so bloody hot in Indy at the start of Nov. My inty was in a room upstairs with no windows and i was BOILING and sweating in my suit/shirt/tie

What are your general comments?

Kasberg came in to talk to 4 of us before the inty's, laid out 3 positives and negatives of the school, told us that we were the best of the applicant pool, told us his timeline on decision making, gave us tips on how to improve our answers to his question (which the panel would subsequently ask us). School doesn't have a caf in the building, or elevators either

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
