What impressed you positively?

Student's attitude.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

The lack of organization of the interview day, the lack of technology use in the admissions process (you have to call someone to schedule your interview. No online calendar with days to choose, etc)

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That interviewers can be pretty intimidating (not the low stress interview that people had reported before. Maybe this was just this one day?)

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

My scheduled interviewer could not attend, so a new one was pulled up at the last second. Office forgot to let me know I had to stay after the interview was done, so I had to come back to the Admissions office after getting to Penn Station. Very disorganized...

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Be more organized. The lack of organization doesn't give a good impression.
