How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

7 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Because it was closed file, I retraced my steps from HS to interview day, reminding myself how I got from there to here (I've been out of school for a while). Reread my primary/secondary application materials.

What impressed you positively?

Everything. I think I have a crush on Dean Wofsy, I entered the interview completely nervous, but by the time he finished introducing us I was completely calm and ready for the rest of the day. The interview day was very well planned, everything was set up well and we had no awkward extra time or similar stuff. Those of us who had to interview at SFGH (on the other side of town) were shuttled over without any confusion. The whole day was great.

What impressed you negatively?

A couple of other applicants rubbed me the wrong way. Otherwise, nothing!
