What impressed you positively?

The dean of admissions was very, very nice. All of the students seem to think it is a good place to go to school.

What impressed you negatively?

My interviewer was unprepared, and a little cynicial. He kept shuffling through my file, and asked me the same questions about my activities over and over again.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing really. it was really easy to find everything.

What are your general comments?

My general impression was alright. While the other people that I met were very nice, my interviewer kind of soured the experience. He conducted the interview in the psych ER, on a couch in a small office. He was interrupted several times and was completely unprepared to interview me. I had to rehash my entire application over with him, and even so, I don't think he had all of the facts straight. He also read off the questions, and in general is ill-suited for conducting interviews. He left no time for questions. The facilities are standard and institutional.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
