How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

8 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Looked over application, SDN, mock interview and researched school. Honestly, didn't put much time into preparation, probably should've done more.

What impressed you positively?

The campus is gorgeous, very low key, low stress interview day. Students and faculty seemed very happy to be there and not that stressed out. Seemed like the minute you get there they are trying to get you to come there, not the other way around.

What impressed you negatively?

Pretty expensive, very urban setting (i'm a small town person) but not that bad. Part of the day was kinda boring and lagged a little

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How low key and relaxed the whole day was.

What are your general comments?

Seems like a great school with a great program. Don't stress out at all if you're interviewing here, just be honest and be yourself. The day can kinda drag especially when all you can think about is the upcoming interview which happens at the very end, very anti-climactic. I got the feeling from the very minute I walked in that all of us were going to be accepted so long as we didn't seem crazy during the interview.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Online paperless secondary
