How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

7 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

School website, SDN feedback.

What impressed you positively?

The weather. Seriously, I think human beings are meant to live in that climate, rather than the NY climate.

What impressed you negatively?

Fellow interviewees seemed kinda cold. I guess it doesn't say anything about the school itself.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That there would be no coffee in or near the presentation room (first thing in the morning).

What are your general comments?

The various parts of the interview day are spread all over campus. Presentation is in research building, admissions office in another, and interview itself in yet another.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Just a tad more friendliness, please.
