What impressed you positively?

"The school has a yearbook and a student literary magazine as well and a journal of student research publications.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

"To be a little more organized. The interview day only lasted from 10:00-2:30, but it definitely felt long because of how unorganized it was. There was a lot of just waiting around and at one point there was a lot of confusion with the admissions staff of who had had both of their interviews (a student interview and a faculty/dean interview). Also the student interview didn't seem necessary." Report Response
