How did you prepare for the interview?

interview feedback page. familiarized myself with common interview questions

What impressed you positively?

I really liked the area. I loved the social scene, the school pride

What impressed you negatively?

I didn't feel I learned that much about the school while i was there. They showed a video about the business management program and that was all they really told us. The tour wasn't as thorough as some of the other interviews.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

It was colder than I would have expected in November.

What are your general comments?

I went to a Friday interview. Apparently if you go on a Monday they do a ''full'' interview where you sit in on a class, take a tour of the entire campus, etc. I would recommend this b/c I left feeling I didn't really learn a lot about the school

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
