What impressed you positively?

"Their students ran a coffee-get-together the evening before the interview. They gave us a quick tour and answered our questions. It was very informal and completely optional and was a lot of fun. Also, it seemed that multicultural diversity was important to them--they seemed to go out of their way to recruit minority students, which I think is very important. " Report Response

What impressed you negatively?

"One of my interviewers was 45 min late to our interview, and then spent 5 minutes with me, because they had to buy something at the store before it closed. It was very disappointing. " Report Response

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

"At any school, if the interviewer does not give you a fair shot (ie, only interviews you for 5 minutes), speak up and say something to the admissions office. They want to hear that kind of thing before you leave your interview day. Usually they will give you another interview the same day or will have you come back for another interview. " Report Response
