How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

I didn't. I just went in with the mentality that it was going to be a nice conversation.

What impressed you positively?

The sheer amount of planning and details that went into this experience. The staff and students were eager to help. Great atmosphere!

What impressed you negatively?

No responses

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The interviews are incredibly laid back. I had great conversations with each of my interviewers. I wish I had known that it is set up in a "speed dating" format, where the student rotates around a table of seated interviewers.

What are your general comments?

I had a wonderful time. Every student had something interesting and important to say, and most of it was incredibly positive. One student was unhappy about the dress code. I decided if that was the worst thing about OSU I could probably stand to go there!

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
