How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

How did you prepare for the interview?

Reread my AMCAS and Secondary.

What impressed you positively?

The kind, laidback students, the new, up-to-date facilities, and the professional, responsive staff

What impressed you negatively?

The interview day wasn't very well structured (we interviewed in 3 time slots, and while our group wasn't interviewing, we just sat around, which nothing planned. Most of the interview day was waiting.) I felt like this was indicative of other things with the school as well. I think they have tremendous ideas and potential, but are still kind of getting their act together.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

To bring a book :)

What are your general comments?

A really kind, altruistic, and awesome group of people with big plans for the future. They're still in the learning and growing phase, but I think FIU will be come into its own soon.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
