How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

5 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN interview feedback, forums, made a list of possible questions and wrote out or at least mentally covered my responses, re-read applications.

What impressed you positively?

Very friendly and congenial interviewers, friendly admissions staff, BEAUTIFUL campus and facilities (the gym and library are MINT), free lunch, the Vice Dean was pretty cool, overall good vibe to the school.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing really. The attendance policy is a bit silly, but all things considered there are much worse things a school could impose.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That my interview was going to be so low-stress, and short.

What are your general comments?

Really impressed overall. This was my first interview so I dont have any other schools to compare it to, but the school has a lot to offer and no ostensible drawbacks. The curriculum is systems-based which is good. The disorganized application process was annoying, but this seemed to be everyone's experience.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
