How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, AADSAS stuff, practiced answering questions on here.

What impressed you positively?

Very up to date facilities. Great central location in the city. The presentation answered every single question I had and then some. The new addition being built will be great for incoming classes.

What impressed you negatively?

Cost of living in enormous! The huge class size would probably make getting assistance on projects etc tougher than at other schools.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The length of the presentation took the whole time so make sure you fly out of boston at like 6pm so you have enough time to get around and handle anything you may need to get done. Also, eat some breakfast before hand. Lunch is around 12ish, so if you get up early and get ready and what not and dont eat, you will probably have a growling stomach come lunch. Eat fairly quick, the students and faculty take you out during lunch. Mine was closer to the end of lunch though.

What are your general comments?

No responses

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

possibly have a student do the tour, this would allow us all to ask questions in a very carefree and
