What impressed you positively?

The facilities were great and the faculty that I met were quite friendly. The oppurtunity to do research is a huge draw.

What impressed you negatively?

The students seemed a little stressed out. The student that interviewed me kept saying how little time she had outside of her studies.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing.

What are your general comments?

I thought the interview was very positive. Both the faculty and student that interviewed me were nice and we shared certain commonalities (the faculty was from my home state and the I speak the students native language). I don't know if that was done intentionally or not, but it certainly helped. The faculty member talked a lot - it was hard to fit a word in edge-wise. The student seemed a little stoic and serious.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
