How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

8 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Went over my speaking skills, practiced with questions like: what was my favorite course in college, why Jefferson (basically very general questions). Also ate a good breakfast and got lots of sleep the night before (didn't want look tired).

What impressed you positively?

It was laid back interview to help me feel comfortable.

What impressed you negatively?

Would have like to see inside more of the buildings on the tour. We got to see inside the apartment complex, but did not get to see the dorms, cafe, or inside the sites for the practical use.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How laid back it would be, I was expecting to be questioned about grades and coursework, but did not get much of that. It would have been nice to know that so I did not stress out so much the night before.

What are your general comments?

Overall a really laid back interview and really helped to set the mood for the time I was there.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
