How did you prepare for the interview?

reviewed my application and checked out the feed back on this site

What impressed you positively?

the curriculm! most people were complaining about the self directed learning but i find that i learn better that way. Who really wants to spend all day in class anyway? I prefer having half of the day to study on my own since I am notorious about skipping lectures to begin with.

What impressed you negatively?

Galveston is pretty dirty and there isnt anything there except a walmart (and traget is coming)!

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Bring extra shoes for the tour. I did for al of my other interviews and assumed that this one would be less walking. i dont know why I thought that, so I didnt take then with me to this one, MISTAKE!

What are your general comments?

I really liked this school and it is now number 2 on my list mostly because of the curriculm and the history behind it. My interviewers were great too and gave me alot of useful info about living there. Some of the students didnt seem to be happy there though but they seemed to be the type that would complain about anywhere there were.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
