How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

3 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Asked previous students.

What impressed you positively?

The other interviewees were nice.

What impressed you negatively?

The super early interview (before tour or anything else); and the complete oddness of the first interview. No questions asked, and the guy said don't worry about this, I'm not on the committee.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That I was in somewhere else already, so I could calm down.

What are your general comments?

Overall, great school for the price. Boonies location, and pretty low level facilities at some parts. One interviewer was very open and friendly but far more judgmental to responses, other was off-beat and odd without a care in the world. I have no idea how to interpret either. Also, waiting months and months to hear back is absurd and unprofessional, for any type of organization.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
