How did you prepare for the interview?

Read over the pdf sent out by the admissions dept. and read the interview feedback on SDN. Reminded myself to breathe occasionally.

What impressed you positively?

Having other interviewees and current students to talk with before the interview helped ease my anxiety tremendously! Everyone I met the day of my interview, from the guard at the front desk to the interviewers themselves were so friendly and helpful.

What impressed you negatively?

There wasn't much king cake left when I got there. ;)

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wasn't sure where to park, but my vehicle was where I left it and didn't have a ticket on the window, so I guess I picked the right spot!

What are your general comments?

LSU has been the most pleasant place to apply. Everyone has been so friendly and efficient!

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Being able to pay the supplemental application fee online would be very helpful!
