How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

googled interviewing tips...sdn...got someone to ask me interview questions I hadn't looked over yet.

What impressed you positively?

the city. simulation lab. new curriculum. student support services such as tutoring. everyone is nice and chill.

What impressed you negatively?

there is always construction going on...pass/fail system

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Even though they say the interviews are 1 hour each, they're not. It's just a max. Two interviews lasted for 30 mins...the last guy lasted for 10 minutes! I was a bit disappointed, but I guess he'd seen enough because I was accepted.

What are your general comments?

Be yourself...I don't have stellar stats, but I did have great summer programs, ecs, volunteering, ect...so, if you got an interview, don't blow it. They clearly saw something in you. So it could make you or break you. They're interested in the whole student.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

They have been really kind and helpful.
