How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

6 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Not much really...i read a little from this website. But mostly went in blind! :)

What impressed you positively?

The 3 women i talked to were really sweet ladies. They seemed to be really interested in learning about me.

What impressed you negatively?

This was my first choice school before the interviews...and the interview changed my mind. There was no financial aid presentation or tour of the campus. There wasnt any information on the courses. Also you didnt have any students to hear from. I managed to find a few 2year students and i talked to them during my waiting for the interview. They seemed to really not be impressed with the faculty contributions. They said the faculty care way more about their own research than your learning. This school seems to be more worried about other things than your learning.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

There wasnt any informational sessions. Just strict interview.

What are your general comments?

They should have tried to recruit me, they dont put any effort in getting you excited about their school. I just felt that they seemed like they were too good to have tours or informational sessions. Not very well organized.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

There should have been some kind of tour and financial aid sessions. It seemed like they werent trying to impress or recruit us. They should put some effort into selling us on their school like we are trying to sell ourselves to them!
