10 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

My preparation was misguided since I randomly selected three keywords and tried to work them into the interview, two went well, but the third I had to extended the interview and possibly ruined my chances of admission, however I did get all three words.

What impressed you positively?

The professional and friendly demeanor of interviewers and admissions director and students.

What impressed you negatively?

I appeared to bore them with a story I gave to tell them a little bit about myself.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That my mom shrunk my shirt the night before and it did not fit.

What are your general comments?

This experience will lay the foundation for any professional endeavors I will have for the rest of my life. In other areas of life, in the hands of less qualified professionals, stressful situations like this tend to be exacerbated by the administrators apparent lack of motivation and attention to detail, for this process, at Louisiana State University, every person that is involved in the admissions process operated in such a way that I am never anxious and never mistrusting that they have my best intentions in mind and are extraordinarily capable of delivering this process to me in a neutral, subtly tailored way, specifically designed for my personality, and not intruding into my personal life, thereby creating a delightful experience that highlight both good and bad elements of my personality, without a hint of judgement or patronage. I have also learned from this process that I am capable of great humility combined with the intelligence to move forward since I have failed twice and intend on a third application.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Keep up the good work and thanks for the pleasant experience !!!
