How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

9 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read over the questions on here and brainstormed possible responses.

What impressed you positively?

How friendly everyone was and how much they seem to really want you to go there, and succeed and thrive. My interviewers seemed to have an attitude of "if/when we admit you, here's why you should come here over any other school" rather than "why should we admit you?" which was refreshing. Also I liked Manhattan a lot more than I expected, I thought it would be more rural.

What impressed you negatively?

The Q&A session at the pizza party kind of dragged since they let each ambassador on the panel give their input on each question, rather than just having one or two people answer the question and then moving on. Also the pizza was Little Caesars and wasn't very warm, so that was disappointing.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How impressed I would be by the school. I had never really considered them before this year, and I think they're my top choice now!
