No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Reread the essays I wrote for all of the schools' secondaries, specific features of the school's location that attract me...Be ready to explain why this school is particularly desirable.

What impressed you positively?

The head of admissions, Dr. Eley, is an incredibly cool, down to earth person. He made everyone feel like a million dollars.

What impressed you negatively?

My individual interviewer scolded me for loving distance running because of wear and tear on the joints. His scolding lasted about 5 minutes...

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The panel interview is totally relaxed. I was freaking out because I thought it would be competitive, but it wasn't. Don't spend time worrying about it :)

What are your general comments?

I had a postitive experience. Except for the scolding, everyone was effusive, welcoming...You are offered Coke products at every turn (Note: When asked who Dr. Woodruff is, remember that he donated hundreds of millions of dollars worth of Coke stock to the school. You will be asked who he is by the admissions coordinator.)

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
