✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

10 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Looked over previous questions and answered the questions in a one-on-one fashion. Looked over personal statement.

What impressed you positively?

The current students who were there to answer questions and the relaxed feeling of the interview.

What impressed you negatively?

Some of the other interviews were late in happening. This was somewhat stressful for the other applicants.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I would have liked to know the setting of the interview. I was glad it was in a small office, but foreknowledge may have reduced stress.

What are your general comments?

The in-state interviews were a few days after the open-house, but I came to the open house anyway. I recommend going to the open house if possible in order to become familiar with the setting of the school. I was more relaxed because I had been at LSU SVM only a few days earlier. It also would have been nice if all of the applicant had received e-mails advertising the open house.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
