Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

Everything was very well organized! All the interviewees had schedules provided. They provided food and even a shoulder bag! Inside the shoulder bag they included information about apartments and the city. The interviewers were very nice.

What impressed you negatively?

The interview process was amazing! They are a little bit full of themselves but the quality of the program and interview process supports this. It is just surprising when they said "Do not call to find out if you are accepted or not. We understand some people accept the first program they get into, but we are not worried. If you don't want the spot, somebody else will." A bit ballsy, especially since they tell you an answer will be provided within 3-4 weeks when it can take much longer.

What are your general comments?

The interview was very impressive. Just don't try to interact with the admissions office.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Please by more prompt in responses. Other universities replied very quickly to questions. VCU was the slowest and required multiple calls and emails to get any sort of response.
