What impressed you positively?

"Everything. I LOVE TECH. I didn't realize how much I would really love this school until I stepped foot on campus and felt like I was at home.

What impressed you negatively?

"Nothing really. I love Lubbock. It kind of sucks that you have to move in the third and fourth years if you are matched out of Lubbock (into Odessa or Amarillo).

"Nothing. I think Tech is pretty much what I thought it would be..." Report Response

What are your general comments?

"Our interview group was huge... There were 70-75 people interviewing that day. It was crazy. From everyone I talked to after the interviews, everyone said that their interview was great. It kind of made me worried because I am not sure if I would be able to stand out... Also, right after the interview was over, the interviewers told us that they would be meeting with the adcom to discuss us. It seems like they make decisions pretty quick, but we wont know the outcome until November 15th. That was kind of nerve racking, but its not Techs fault." Report Response
