How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

I read pretty much every interview feedback for this school. I also asked friends and family for feedback. And I skimmed through some interview books to kind of get in the mindset of getting interviewed. But don't try to memorize an answer for something, in the end you've just gotta be yourself.

What impressed you positively?

How friendly the admissions office was and the two professors I interviewed with were. I was way more nervous than I needed to be going into it. I was very grateful for the interviewers I got!

What impressed you negatively?

The only rather strange part was where we had to write our on-site essay. I don't really have a problem with writing but in the middle of writing my essay these people came in to set up for some seminar they were having in that room. A little strange.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish I would not have been so nervous. But I must have been able to make-up for my nerves because I ultimately got accepted. Just relax more and think of it more as you interviewing their school if that helps you!

What are your general comments?

I noticed other people reccommended talking with the other candidates while waiting. I agree with this. It helps break the ice and makes you relax. You're all in the same boat and it helps loosen you up. BE YOURSELF! If it's meant to be it will be. You wouldn't want to get in under false pretenses anyway. Oh, and did I mention try to relax?

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
