How did you prepare for the interview?

What impressed you positively?
Nothing really
What impressed you negatively?
The facility, its location, the organization of the interview day (tour came first before introduction), administrative staff weren't too friendly. A very dull interview day.
What are your general comments?
I wish they had students give the tour of the campus. I think that my interview day didn't quite impress me about Western. The staff seemed dull and not so enthusiastic. It's not just the school interviewing me, but it's also an opportunity for the school to show me what's so great about them to make me want to choose their program. They certainly did not do a good job of impressing me.
What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
They need to hire much friendlier and enthusiastic staff members and have a better organized intervi
