How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read some stuff about the school

What impressed you positively?

There's a playground on the top of the hospital

What impressed you negatively?

The facilities aren't that great, and very few students came to tell us why they liked the school. It felt like a place a lot of people weren't excited to be at. It also seems to cater to NC residents with scholarships and opportunities. The schedule looks jam packed with not a lot of free-time, and there don't seem to be that many interesting innovations in their curriculum.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That they have 2 nice interviewers and 1 jerk interviewer every time.

What are your general comments?

Everybody was nice but the school just isn't a good fit for me. The admissions people were cool about finding me a student host, so that was a big plus. Winston-Salem looks like a good city, but the school is just not what I'm looking for.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
