How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

8 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read the reviews on here SDN, read practice questions and practiced outloud on a few

What impressed you positively?

Everybody was so incredibly friendly and genuinely interested in making interviewees feel comfortable about the day. I was a nervous wreck approaching this interview and I'm a pretty shy person in general, but I assure anybody out there that's like me in that regard, they are there to make YOU feel at ease, and really welcome you to their institution.

What impressed you negatively?

It's kind of in the middle of nowhere, which is a downfall for me because I would LOVE if it were in Boston, I like city life.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Probably that the admin building is where everything takes place, I was fortunate and just walked in their first thing but that's where you are for most of the day.

What are your general comments?

All of the other interviewees were completely friendly (at least my group was) and it's a help to talk to them and great for relaxing.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
