How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read about MMI format online and spoke with a vet who previously did interviews at the school

What impressed you positively?

I actually enjoyed the MMI. Its kind of refreshing to know that the playing field is equal between everyone.

What impressed you negatively?

Not that I was not aware before applying, but Blacksburg is very rural. But on the upside cost of living is great!

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I was pretty aware of how MMI was going to work. I am still confused because they tell you to expect "little feedback" during the interviews but I actually did get feedback from most...which kind of got into my head that maybe I wasn't saying enough or that I was not filling up enough time?

What are your general comments?

Many people hate the MMI, but I honestly feel better about it that I did my traditional panel interview.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

None. I get prompt, complete answers to e-mails and phone calls throughout the process.
