What impressed you positively?

The 2 different programs

What impressed you negatively?

The interview really did not seem to be interested in what I had to say. I would speak, and he would cut me off and begin writing and then would go on to the next question. I was quite disappointed with the interview.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

I really wish I had been given a better chance with the interviewer. He did not seem very receptive to what I had to say and got quite confused with my activities despite the fact that they were right in front of him. The student guest house is AMAZING. You get a ride to the school and they are such a nice family! They are so sweet and really put you at ease prior and after an interview.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
