How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

How did you prepare for the interview?

Looked up questions on SDN and formulated my own questions, then answered them all in a word document. Wrote 7-8 pages of questions and answers.

What impressed you positively?

How personable and sincere my interviewer was. It hardly felt like an interview at all. Was very comfortable the whole time.

What impressed you negatively?

Vague housing options during post-interview tour. Seemed limited to just recommending the Daumier as a housing option. Did not tour the library or classrooms. No meal plan available.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Clearer directions on where to park and where the HEC building was.

What are your general comments?

The interview process was great. I felt like they wanted me there. Everything was planned and scheduled out well. Wish we were able to tour the library & classrooms but other than that, I had a great time.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Wish we should have seen the classrooms and library.
