✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

7 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Re-reading MSAR, school's website, and my own applications. Watching videos from the school's YouTube channel.

What impressed you positively?

The curriculum, the integration of the school into the community, the fact that students said that all of the staff know who they are, all the measures the school is taking to increase student happiness.

What impressed you negatively?

As an out of state student, it's going to be REALLY expensive.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing in particular. I felt good about my preparation.

What are your general comments?

If it weren't for the super-expensive tuition, Cooper would be my number one choice, no question. Their combination of mission and innovative curriculum is just fantastic. But I'm not sure I can justify the OOS tuition when I also have interviews at in state schools that are going to be much cheaper.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
