How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

I rehearsed all of the questions off of this site :-)

What impressed you positively?

The admissions office is amazing and so responsive! Also, the school was so lively because of the Open House, and it was great getting to meet so many current students and professors.

What impressed you negatively?

The facilities are a bit old, but I don't really care, as long as the teaching is cutting-edge.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish I had known to bring more food with me. There were some snacks available, but by the time I left the school I was starving!

What are your general comments?

I know that if I were to attend LSU as an OOS student, I would still feel like part of the family because everyone is so welcoming and warm!

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

None - they are the most responsive of any school and try to minimize applicants' stress.
