What impressed you positively?
The school tour was amazing (state of the art facility), the dean came and spoke with us and he delivered an exceptional message, the professors who interviewed me were extremely knowledgeable, and even the group of students I interviewed with were extremely intelligent and friendly.
What impressed you negatively?
It was difficult to find the building interviews were taking place. I wish they would have had a staff member in the main lobby floor to help direct interviewees.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
Not to wear a dress skirt. I am 5'3" and the chairs in the main presentation room are quite high off the floor and that made it difficult to sit properly. You are also divided up into groups and given information about the faculty members interviewing you which helped put me at ease.
What are your general comments?
Be yourself! This was the most laid back interview I had all season. Read about your faculty members and see if you can pull something out to connect with them about. The school, students, and faculty were amazing and extremely helpful and knowledgeable.
What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
They should have someone to meet students in the lobby to help guide them to the correct place
