What impressed you negatively?

"The rundown facilities, the dorms/bathrooms, the huge amount of construction, and the entire interview day. Even though I knew that I'd only get a tour,lunch, and then the interview, I never realized how bad it is to travel so far to get nothing from the NYU staff. We weren't given any presentations (financial aid, etc) or even greetings from any admissions faculty. Just a tour, and that was it. Also, my interviewer was 1 hour late, and they had apparently not read my application very well at all.....they seemed to only know where I was from (from what I read here on SDN, I was expecting them to know my app quite well). Despite the friendliness of my interviewer, I didn't feel very 'welcomed' at NYU at all." Report Response
