What impressed you positively?
Kent State's student ambassadors were amazingly helpful. They were both tour guides and available to answer questions. I appreciated their honesty when answering questions the most. I felt they were passionate about Kent State but not enough to cloud their judgement about the school or their experiences. They also pride themselves on their family-like community which was evident in the tour. Everyone said "hello" to one another, even the professors.
What impressed you negatively?
The school itself is fairly small. I also read that the interview was very laid-back with relaxed, fun questions but my interviewer was definitely more interested in my transcript than I'd been prepared for. It was still pretty relaxed but not as personable as I'd anticipated.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
Don't be so stressed out
What are your general comments?
This interview has been my favorite out of all of them. It definitely has the unfair advantage of being in person but their presentations and student ambassadors were well-prepared. The environment at Kent State is how they described in the admissions presentation: friendly, welcoming and a family. They also didn't focus on comparing themselves to other programs a lot which I also respected and appreciated.
