✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Looked at feedback on SDN, reviewed my personal statement and my supplemental application.

What impressed you positively?

The interviewers were very laid back and not at all out to get you. I truly felt as though they wanted me to do well and really get to know me as a person.

What impressed you negatively?

The interviewers were kind of spaced out and not sitting very close together so it made it a little difficult to make eye contact with all of them while answering their questions. At times, it felt like I was looking around the room.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Just to RELAX and not freak out as much as I did. The interviewers are very nice and understand how nervous and stressed out you are during the interview process. It really was not as bad as I thought it would be. They weren't drilling me with questions, it was more of a conversation kind of thing.

What are your general comments?

LSU SVM is a great school and the admissions office is a god send for applicants! They really did their best to calm us down, and the current students being in the waiting room to answer questions was also very helpful. They went through the interview process so they truly know how you feel and they also did their best to help you out.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Nothing at all, the admissions office at LSU is amazing and so helpful!
