How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

I practiced answering previous interview questions posted on SDN, and wrote some short essays to prepare for the writing sample.

What impressed you positively?

I liked that my three interviewers had different roles with the school. One was a professor, another a board member, and the last was a student.

What impressed you negatively?

I thought the team building exercise was a little awkward.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish I had known how long my wait after lunch and before the interview was.

What are your general comments?

The day went pretty well, the wait was a little long, but there's nothing really to be done about it. I received my acceptance letter about 10 days after the interview, which was nice.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

It would be nice to have a schedule of the next academic year available for candidates.
