What impressed you negatively?

"at the lunch, our faculty member really didn't make conversation flow. the financial aid presentation was boring (and should be optional)" Report Response

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

"just relax! also, the interview with the fourth-year student is closed file (the faculty interview is not)" Report Response

What are your general comments?

"The day is divided up into two parts: the morning where you are not being evaluated and then a total immersion with admissions people. After the lunch with faculty and the tour, you sit in a room with fourth years and just chat. Hint: don't try too hard to impress them, you look dumb. The student interview is really really laid back, just be yourself. Same advice for the faculty interview, only he or she has all your information and can ask about grades etc. Big hint: look over your experiences you listed on your primary so you don't forget to mention it in the interview!"
