How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

How did you prepare for the interview?

Practiced with parents, set up a practice interview at my home school. Got on a job interview committee the week before which helped a LOT.

What impressed you positively?

New school, amazing place, people were friendly. Ended the interview at the Children's Hospital - for a reason. The lobby is honestly like Disney World. Everything is up to date - the library is cool.

What impressed you negatively?

NO gym at the school which really really sucks in my opinion. The neighborhood is also pretty rough compared to some other schools.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I did know that you could hear the other interviewers through the paper thin walls, which is maybe the reason it was so distracting. I also wish I knew how darn expensive the school is.

What are your general comments?

Great interview! First with a dean who was awesome, and then with a physical therapist who kinda gave me a hard time but I liked it. Probably a good idea to tell them if there's any surprises on your app.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Great interview day. Different locations would be better because you can hear the other interviewers
