What impressed you positively?

How friendly and generous the students were. I had all of my transportation covered by student volunteers...to and from airport, to and from my hotel. It took a lot of stress off of me. I am so grateful to them.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

I wish I met some professors for the interview weekend. I know that some of them were conducting interviews but I didn't have a professor for my interview. I wish they were more involved with the interview weekend. I also wish there was more diversity in the school. Very "white bread".

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How organized the student volunteers were. I was worrying needlessly about transportation and having back-up plans in case things fell through, but the students had everything covered for me.

What are your general comments?

Everyone was so nice. It was a weekend of asking a lot of questions and talking about yourself. I ran out of questions and was burnt out from talking so much. I was glad I interviewed on Friday. I flew in Thursday afternoon and left Saturday afternoon after the Saturday activities.
