✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

5 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

4 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

I researched the school by reading the website and talking to current students. I also watched the orientation that was done for the out-of-state students.

What impressed you positively?

The niceness of the interviewers and the fact that current students kept stopping by to talk to us and answer questions we had.

What impressed you negatively?

No tour was given for in-state students. You had to come to open-house which was crowded and for the public. Interviews were running behind schedule.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I feel like I knew most of what to expect.

What are your general comments?

Overall, it was a good experience. I did not like that it was a blind interview however. It is harder to sell yourself when they know nothing about you.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

It would be nice and more personal to receive a letter in the mail when you get an interview or get accepted instead of everything being put online.
