How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Practiced all of the questions on here and went over my application

What impressed you positively?

The laid back environment. The whole day was informative and fun but the interview also was laid back and like a conversation. I even stumbled on my words a bit once and paused and they kinda helped me through it

What impressed you negatively?

Not really a big deal or much they can do about it but the activities for the day started at 8:45 but my interview wasn’t until 3:10 at the end of the day. I was the last person there and my guests got kicked out of the conference room because they had to clean

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The food for lunch. No one in my party liked it and we would have brought lunch or grabbed some somewhere else. It was a long day and we didn’t end up eating.

What are your general comments?

The day is full of tours and info sessions and it’s a great way to learn about the school. My interview wasn’t until 3:10 while the events started at 8:45 so I brought my suit to change into later and wore comfortable clothes in the morning. It was a great choice.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
