✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Reviewed my application. I don't know that reading other students' questions and thinking of the right answer is a good approach. I felt that the best part of my interview was my candidness and openness. I think honesty is the best approach. It worked for me at least.

What impressed you positively?

The candidness and friendliness of the staff and interviewers during the day. I felt almost no stress and felt like I was just having a conversation with each person I talked to.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing about the school or interview, but I was really turned off by all the family members attending with the interviewees. It's one thing to have your fiance or spouse, but not your siblings and/or parents. That was horribly tacky and I'm sure didn't help the interviewees' chances.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How much walking I would do. I also wish I knew that everyone else would be bringing a portfolio or resume folder/binder. Luckily, I had just asked a family member who lives in Kirksville for a pen and paper and got a folder.

What are your general comments?

Great school; great interview.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Nothing-everything was great!
