What impressed you negatively?

"The students don't seem to do anything cultural with their time... When I asked them if there were things to do in Newark, they started talking about the bars in Morristown.

What are your general comments?

"The admissions committee kept emphasizing the fact that the interview was for finding a good reciprocal fit, and not to trick us or anything. They were really honest and open about their school. The theme of the day was "ask us questions; be an informed consumer." I really enjoyed my time taking to my interviewer because he was incredibly enthusiastic. He showed me around after talking in his office for about 30 mins, which helped me come up with questions about the school. I also tried to interject things about my character/values after he described parts of the school to convince him I would be a good fit for them. " Report Response
