How did you prepare for the interview?

I reviewed the BCOM newsletter and the website.

What impressed you positively?

The school itself is beautiful and looks out onto this gorgeous mountain scenery. The golf cart tour of New Mexico State is very pleasant as well.

What impressed you negatively?

My interview felt very awkward. The interviewers asked very long, detailed questions, which became difficult to fully answer given their length and intricacy.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

This school REALLY is only looking for students who are willing to stay in the area.

What are your general comments?

Overall, the building is very nice and the curriculum shows a lot of promise. My interview was awkward, but that will vary significantly depending on who the interviewers are.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
