What impressed you positively?

"Everybody -- all the staff, faculty, students -- were absolutely the nicest bunch of people that I've ever met. And all the students that I talked to seemed genuinely happy to go to Pritzker and they all seemed very passionate about their involvement with the different activities at Pritzker." Report Response

What impressed you negatively?

"My student interviewer seemed a bit bored at first and almost felt like she wasn't paying attention to me, but I think that was because she took down the most amount of notes and was so focused on that.
