How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Reveiwed primary & secondary apps., scoured the website

What impressed you positively?

All the personal touches-Because the class size is small (86) everyone in the admissions office knows all of the students by name, I had a 30 min. one-on-one interview with financial aid, was given an individual exit interview at the end of the day...

What impressed you negatively?

No responses

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish I had known more about the amazing financial aid-I would have brought some hard numbers so I could get a better approximation of where I stood $wise.

What are your general comments?

I had one student interviewer and one faculty member. I also had one of my interviews at the VA, which is easily the nicest hospital I have ever seen.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
