How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

9 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Printed the interview feedback questions and wrote answers longhand. Reviewed my VMCAS (not just the PS guys!)

What impressed you positively?

The student ambassadors really want you to come to K-State. Everyone was friendly.

What impressed you negatively?

The lack of presence outside of the conference room where we checked in. It was on the fourth floor and there was only a sign on the ground floor.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That they would grill me about my application, rather than about my reasons for applying and why to their school.

What are your general comments?

I very much enjoyed the campus and the students. Manhattan has a lot more stuff in it than I expected. The buildings look well used but do not appear deficient in anything.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Note that the tours also leave from the check in conference room in the information e-mail.
