What impressed you positively?

Location of the school, but thats about it.

What impressed you negatively?

How ignorant Americans are. I told them that I immigrated to Canada when I was 9, and then they asked me "Did you speak English before you came to Canada? your English is very good." I didn’t travel to Florida so they could comment on my English, I felt like getting up and leaving at that point. Also, the tour was really unorganized, we were in the middle of eating when they kicked us out of the room.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That as you respond to their questions, they purposely dont look at you. Really threw me off. Apparently they want to see if you get distracted.

What are your general comments?

They asked me about problem areas within my application, which is fair. If you have a strong application you should have no problem during the interview.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

None
