How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read up on the school, went over possible interview questions.

What impressed you positively?

The school puts a lot of emphasis on retention and offers a lot of help to struggling students.

What impressed you negatively?

The slide show had a lot of really old pictures - but who really cares about that...

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

It might have been good to get there a little earlier - the hospitality room they had set up for us was really nice. The students in there really put me at ease.

What are your general comments?

The interview was only with one person (a faculty member) - but some candidates may have had a student there too. The interview was not very stressful and the questions were very basic. The essay was what I expected - if you read the information about the essay on their web page, you will be well prepared. There was no problem solving exercise. There was a slide show run by students, which was nice but not all that informative for someone who did their prereqs at UT. There was also a tour run by students.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
