How did you prepare for the interview?

Looked at feedback on SDN, googled possible interview questions and came up w/ general answers, looked over personal statement and supplemental application

What impressed you positively?

Excellent welcoming reception night before with an informative presentation and in-depth tour. Really helped me to find out more about school and actually used some of that info during my interview. Also had some first years come and talk one-on-one with us in the interview waiting room.

What impressed you negatively?

N/A

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Not to be so nervous. Even though everyone said this over and over, the interview was pretty laid-back and I should not have worried so much.

What are your general comments?

LSU was very welcoming and really makes it seem like they want you there and want to accept you. Also, if they have the interviews on the same day as Open House again, it gets VERY crowded, so make sure you allot extra time to deal with traffic and crowds.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
