What impressed you positively?

the learning communities are fantastic- very high tech facilities, brand new buildings. the admissions office staff are wonderful. great reasearch opportunities.

What impressed you negatively?

the interview itself was rather impersonal- i don't much care for interviews with standardized questions, and the fact that all the interviewers do after asking these questions is smile and nod- i do understand the rationale for this sort of practice, however. the interview was also pretty short. the info sessions lasted 2.5 hours in a room that was much too small for the 16 people there.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

that i'd be waiting in a room for an hour before my interview.
