What impressed you positively?

The friendliness of all the staff involved in the interview process and the organization and communication of the interview day.

What impressed you negatively?

One interview was late, which gave me almost no time between interviews.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

What the initial introduction and speech was going to be about and that interviews would take place all around campus, not just in one central location.

What are your general comments?

Overall, I really enjoyed the interview day experience at MUSC. Food was provided, although it was at most nibbled by a few students. Lunch was good, and the staff were friendly and extremely helpful in calming interview day nerves of all applicants.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Admissions process was smooth and very welcoming.
