What impressed you positively?

LSU as a whole is very inviting, warm, and compassionate about their students and their program. They want us to succeed, even if we were to choose another school over LSU.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

They did such a great job, that now if I were lucky enough to get multiple offers, I would have a very tough time deciding on the best school. (Joke.) I was blown away by the quality of this school.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

None, truthfully. Jared and the admissions committee does a wonderful job of contacting applicants and interviewees. They do their job well and care about EVERY part of their program, and each student who is or wants to become a part of it.
