How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read about school, reread application, mock interview, researched sample questions, talked to myself in the car, told myself I am a perfectly good applicant and not to worry!

What impressed you positively?

Extremely caring faculty, incredible curriculum, small class size

What impressed you negatively?

Facilities where messy. But it is very clear that the students USE all of the study rooms and work together, and that they have decent food options on campus.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I am not from Florida, I was expecting humidity, but I did not really know how to handle it. Ladies, research how to handle your hair and makeup in humidity. And everyone give yourself extra time to arrive and cool off inside before you have to enter the room with everyone else.

What are your general comments?

I loved it. They seem to really care about their students and to have an extremely well designed curriculum.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
