What impressed you positively?

The students seemed incredibly happy and were extremely impressed by the quality of instruction. Staff in the admissions office were very friendly.

Although the interviewers were pleasant, I didn't feel like they really wanted to get to know me. One of them just sat there and barely asked any questions.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That the lunch would be spaghetti and meatballs ... I'm a vegetarian. Bring food if you're planning to be there all day.

What are your general comments?

Overall, it was a good experience. At times I felt like the interview was more of an exam than a conversation, but that's to be expected. The admissions staff were very helpful and straightforward about the process. Although it was stressful, it was much less so than I thought it would be.
