What impressed you negatively?

The whole feel of the interview day was off. Instead of being treated like future members of the school, I felt like we were more of an inconvenience to those in the school. We spent a lot of time sitting and waiting in the Admissions Office, we didn't get an orientation "Hey, welcome to our school!" type meeting, and our interviewers/tour guides just came and grabbed us when it was convenient for them. We then went on a tour with a couple of students, had lunch, went back to the Admissions Office to wait for a while more, and then were given essentially the same tour the students gave us by one of the admissions staff. The whole day just seemed haphazard and disjointed.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish I had known how much time I would spend sitting in the Admissions Office without anything to do.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

The day needs more structure in order to allow applicants to feel truly welcomed to the school.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

I would suggest having a more scheduled day. As applicants, we spent far too much time just sitting and waiting in the Admissions Office. This time could have easily been filled with presentations to convince us that CWRU is the school for us.
