What impressed you positively?

the faculty at the school. Everyone is super friendly and warm. Especially Betty!

What impressed you negatively?

I was hoping to talk to some students on campus, but didn't get a chance to, because they were busy with exams.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

that you also have a "mini interview" with the vice president of student affairs.

What are your general comments?

it's nice to bring hard copies of your cv to give to the panel. Especially if you have updated your cv since submitting it to OptomCAS. I found that my interviewer really appreciated it bc he found it pretty difficult to read OptomCAS's CV printout.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
