How did you prepare for the interview?

Spent time with my best friend in Morgantown who's currently in the middle of M1 at WVU. Relaxed and tried not to worry about anything.

What impressed you positively?

The campus location and the countryside. The culture. I really like rural areas and small-town feel. Plus a plethora of outdoor adventures for long weekends and breaks. :D

What impressed you negatively?

The tour was very disjointed and fairly uninformative. For the most part the students were good at answering the questions we had, but they didn't have any sort of planned tour. It was more like, "Here's this place. This is what we do here. Umm...where else do you guys want to go and see?" Right.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That I was only going to be there for 15 mins in my interview. Pretty darn short.

What are your general comments?

I was really freaked out about my interview only lasting 15 mins. and I thought to myself, "This could be really bad, or really good. Either they already wanted to accept me, or they only continued to the interview because they offered already and they were ready to reject me. Or I just really said something stupid in the interview (which, I know I didn't)." My friend called me a few days later and said several kids in his class had 10-15 min interviews, so if your interview is short too, no worries. You're in good company. ;-)

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
