How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN and mock interviews

What impressed you positively?

How friendly everyone was. It really reduced my stress level. It was a very relaxed atmosphere.

What impressed you negatively?

It's cold. It was 9 degrees when I visited, but an overcoat made everything ok.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That they were going to provide pizza. I though it would be just snack type food, and when they offered me pizza I felt a little rude having to decline because of the big breakfast I had beforehand.

What are your general comments?

Every school I've interviewed at has claimed that all they want to do is get to know you and for you to be relaxed. Shenandoah is the only place where I have felt that they actually mean it. It was the least stressful of all my interviews and I got to know my interviewers as well as they got to know me.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
