How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Went over my secondary . . . all the interviewers quoted sections of my personal statements and asked me to broaden my views.

What impressed you positively?

The group dynamic was great. Whenever the interviewers faces were "unfriendly" I could always turn to my peers and see their encouraging faces.

What impressed you negatively?

Didn't get to spend a lot of time with other staff memebers such as those in charge of rotation assignments, financial aid (even though every school has the same stuff to say), and student activities, etc. . .

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing surprising . . . the website is pretty decent for finding all you need to know.

What are your general comments?

The dean of admissions is a straight-shooter . . . he'll tell you the way things are and won't bullshit you. That in and of itself took the edge off of the interview from breakfast on. The group interview was interesting and much more relaxed than a one-on-panel or one-on-one.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
