Read this website, re-read my application, read the Columbia website.

What impressed you positively?

Lots of students stopped by and asked if we had questions, they seemed really happy and excited about the school.

What impressed you negatively?

Bard Hall. After living on my own for a few years, I would never live there!

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

nothing.

What are your general comments?

Overall, very positive. One thing I thought was mising is that no one from the admissions office came to speak to us as a group to introduce us to the school. The interview is very conversational, mostly about things from your app. My interviewer definately took time out to do his HW and had questions prepared.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
