How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

How did you prepare for the interview?

Not much, I wasn't extremely excited about this interview so I briefly looked at interview feedback and went on the website so I could answer "why case" and "any questions"

What impressed you positively?

Students were very happy, balanced, collaborative. Cheap cost of living, good enough public transportation

Not the biggest fan of the location, facilities were OK, not as impressive as other schools. I didn't hate Cleveland as much as I thought I would, but I'm still not the biggest fan.

These were the most laid back interviews I've had yet. Takes a lot of Californians

Breakfast was limited, I'm glad I ate at my hotel first! Lunch was great though
