No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read interview experiences on SDN, read OSU's website, looked over my secondary app for OSU

What impressed you positively?

OSU is an extremely large school with a ton of opportunities yet all of the students that we talked to us said that it also felt small and personal. They have and are building some pretty amazing facilities (dedicated cancer hospital, dedicated heart hospital, etc).

What impressed you negatively?

It does have a 210 person class size, but there are two separate educational paths so that makes it more manageable.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

We got there at 1030 and at 11 we had an admissions staff person give us and overview of OSU. The presentation was very valuable and informative. After that we had lunch with some students and a tour of campus. The students were extremely nice and gave some great insights into the school. After the tour we had our interview. My interviewer was extremely nice and started out by saying that he was my advocate with the selection committee. Right off the bat he made me feel at ease and want to work with him so he could portray me as the best applicant as possible. Overall I was extremely impressed by OSU.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
