4 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, visiting school's website, speaking with student host

What impressed you positively?

Research opportunities, friendliness of students

What impressed you negatively?

Baltimore was worse than I expected, and there was a multiple shooting at the hospital. Also, the vast majority of first year students live in a dorm, but I guess this helps reduce the stress of moving to B'more.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Just how bad Baltimore actually was (traffic, drugs on the street, safety issues, lack of significant green space, etc.).

What are your general comments?

Excellent school in a place where I wouldn't want to live. I could tolerate Baltimore, but I think it would add to my stress level. Contrary to some other reviews, I enjoyed the hang out session with the MS4s and thought it was a good idea.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
