How did you prepare for the interview?

No responses

What impressed you positively?

Staff was really nice, everyone was smiling and happy.

What impressed you negatively?

The tour SUCKED! The student that led the tour complained about the school the entire time. Most classrooms were locked so not really a tour of the campus.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That there was breakfast and lunch served (if you have the early 7:45 interview time)

What are your general comments?

Seems like a good school, but I wish I would have had a different tour guide (one that actually liked the school).

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Admissions office staff are amazing! If I were deciding on a school based solely on this I would hands down choose WesternU.
