How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

9 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

I reviewed my application! My interview was tailored specifically for me and I honestly don't think there was any way to prepare for it.

What impressed you positively?

Everyone were so nice! My interviewers definitely were trying to sell the school to me and trying to get me to sell myself to them. It was a very conversational interview and I honestly enjoyed it!

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing! I enjoyed the whole process with the student ambassadors and interviewers.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

More details about the weekend ahead of time.

What are your general comments?

I loved the whole interview process! For me, none of the questions on here helped prep me for the interview. It was geared all around things from my application. I had a very conversational interview and time flew by during it!

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Provide a timeline of the weekend (tour times, etc.) and shuttles to students during the week before the interview. I like to know things ahead of time so that was the only that I didn't like as much.
