SDN

What impressed you positively?

The close knit atmosphere of the student and faculty, and the feeling that I could really fit in. One of the faculty made a Game of Thrones reference as part of his presentation whoch appealed strongly to my inner geek. The book store had a bin of microbial plushies which appealed strongly to my microbio background and inner child. On recommendation from one of the faculty, I visited MacDowell's creek, a nearby park in the mountain foothills, and I can attest to that the local area is great for those who apprciate the outdoors. I can really see myself living and studying here.

What impressed you negatively?

Lunch was the Mexican which I would normally applaud, however, it was the messiest Mexican I have ever seen. There was much joking amongst the applicants that this was a test of our manual dexterity, and that if we showed up without a stained suit for our afternoon interviews we were in. Other than that there was nothing negative.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

MMI here was very low stress and not really a true MMI. Bookstore had microbial plushies for sale. I would have brought money.

What are your general comments?

Love the school. Small town, but plenty to do if you love the outdoors. Great community atmosphere. Local beer is up to snuff. Curriculum seems right on the target. All in all, I could really see myself at this school.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Perhaps hold the interviews earlier in the day to alleviate stress.
