What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

"The way they operate with admissions/waitlist decisions is very confusing. When I inquired about when I would hear about more admissions decisions/waitlist status, the office was very rude and in the end just stopped responding to emails. They basically refused to answer my questions. Thankfully a very friendly student during the interview day had provided her email and she was of great help." Report Response
