How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

8 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read here, practiced typical interview questions, did practice interviews.

What impressed you positively?

The interviewers, the school, the admissions staff. The facilities are super new (paid for via a recent ~$70 million donation) and top notch. Supposedly the best in the state.

What impressed you negatively?

Only Augusta...not the most vibrant/metropolitan area, although apparently there's a lot more social opportunity through the Athens campus.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How low-stress the day would be.

What are your general comments?

Really friendly, comfortable day. The interviewers were incredibly nice and relaxed with the applicants and it feels like everyone really wants to sell you on the school and help you to succeed.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

None, they did a phenomenal job! Super friendly people.
