How did you prepare for the interview?

Interviewed last year, and read questions on SDN. Had mock interviews with my coworkers, vets, and family. Read up on current events.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

The faculty and students are really nice and the facilities are relatively advanced. All the students really want each other to succeed.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

The interview weekend seemed relatively disorganized, could have been organized better. There was no financial aid information, and no organized tours either.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That you sign a paper when you are admitted that states that you HAVE to pay OOS tuition all 4 years despite if your residency status changes.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

KSU is a great school, and the fact that they have a traditional program is really appealing to me. I like having everything organized and PBL does not sound fun or informative to me, so K state has a program that is in line with me. Most expensive option that I applied to this cycle, but I love the program and the faculty so if I get accepted I would seriously consider going.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

I've heard of a couple instances where interview offers were either 1) not received by the applicant (in my case) or 2) never sent to the applicant. I would make sure that the applicant received the interview offer before we call the admissions office.
