What impressed you positively?

OSU has a dinner and they really try to make you comfortable

What impressed you negatively?

They interview a lot of people (and they make all you feel like you are already accepted!) It's a bit disheartening.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The interview was going to be laid back and friendly.

OSU was fantastic. Even though I'm still struggling with patience in this application process I'd remind everyone that yes, it is long and stressful---but good things come to those who wait :)

Keep doing what you are doing!
