How did you prepare for the interview?

What impressed you positively?

The interviewers and staff were extremely welcoming. Baton Rouge is a great city, and the school has a nice location on the edge of campus. No parking headaches!

What impressed you negatively?

Most of the current students in the waiting room were skipping class to be there, but I enjoyed meeting them all the same.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish I knew my interview would start 20' early..I was walking into the waiting room as my name was called.

What are your general comments?

Good interview. Didn't appear to be an agenda to the questions. Like most group settings, you might find 1-2 interviewers who want to know your strengths while the other 1-2 try to tease out weaknesses.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

None. The admissions office was extremely helpful and responsive during the entire process. The interview process seems too quick: 25' for 4 years. That being said, I understand the resource constraints and volume of applications it must cover.
