How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

7 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Practiced general grad school interview questions.

What impressed you positively?

That they had my application printed and in front of them during the interview and were genuinely interested in hearing more about my experiences. Elizabeth Lowenger, the diversity and career coordinator at the dean's office met with me and my dad while we were waiting beforehand to give me more info about the school, clubs, and other students. She was so nice and friendly and I enjoyed talking to her so much before the interview that I didn't have a chance to get nervous at all.

What impressed you negatively?

The only thing I didn't like was that I was given less than 1 week's notice for the interview. Also, the admissions office was so behind that I didn't hear back about the interview until early May, frustratingly later than any of the U.S. schools.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

I interviewed as an international student. I believe that interviews for Canadian residents are performed in a completely different format.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
