How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

How did you prepare for the interview?

Went over NOVA questions from SDN and my essay.

What impressed you positively?

The facilities were nice, not run down like some of the other schools. Also the staff was very friendly and there is a free campus shuttle. I also liked the multidisciplinary aspect.

What impressed you negatively?

The dress code and attendance policy, although my tour guides assured me that these were not enforced. And I also noticed that there are almost twice as many classes in the curriculum as another school I am looking at. But the credit hours are about the same, so it should be doable.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Some of the questions were very different from any other interview I have had.

What are your general comments?

Overall a great school that I could definitley see myself at for the next four years.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

No responses
