How did you prepare for the interview?

I read up on bioethical issues, kept up with current events and read about the school. I also reread my personal essay the morning of my interviews.

What impressed you positively?

The admissions staff were very nice and had great senses of humor. They really seemed to want to help us. The students we met were very nice and seemed happy. The new campus that they are building is going to be AWESOME!

What impressed you negatively?

I wouldn't get to benefit from the new campus because it won't be ready for awhile. The current building is pretty old and depressing and the parking situation is bad.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

that you can't rent a car if you aren't 25 in Denver!

What are your general comments?

I had a really positive experience. Everyone was very nice and helpful. I stayed with a first year student the night before and I would recommend that to anyone. It was interesting to see a typical evening with them and hear what they had to say (what admissions might not tell you).

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
