How did you prepare for the interview?

I read over my application and perused the SLU website for things about which I could ask a question or two.

What impressed you positively?

I had a nice dinner the night before in downtown St. Louis...

What impressed you negatively?

It seemed like the students weren't all that happy...One person that I ran into from my undergrad years told me to go somewhere else if possible.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Tuition is 35K and the facilities aren't exactly "modern."

What are your general comments?

Overall, the interview experience was disappointing. The interviewer never even introduced himself and was incredibly cynical throughout the entire encounter. He sought pleasure out of "grilling" me about my experiences and activities. The tour was at best "ok" and the facilities immediately turned me off from this school. The only positive thing about the trip (other than my steak dinner) was that it gave me interview experience in a place that is relatively unattractive.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
