<p>i must praise wustl's admission officer, nanette tarbouni. she is just awesome: super friendly, excellent speaker, knowledgable, positive, every-smiling. if you ever have a chance to meet her, you will want to go to wustl. i know admission officers are supposed to sell their school, but she goes beyond to get to know you and really excite you about the university. </p>

<p>i also went to a wustl reception and alums and parents of current students attended to answer questions. it just surprised me of the positive feedback--so positive that parents would take off from work to encourage other applicants. </p>

<p>this all sums up to a wonderful community reputation at wustl. i know it isn't perfect, but it sounds like the most caring college campus community yet. family can definately be found here.</p>

<p>she is so great - but she's the dean of ad. the best officer is by far Jim Burmeister who I know deals with Utah, he has been ridiculously helpful to me. When I got deferred and called, he called back first thing the next day and had a long conversation with me about what i can do.</p>

<p>i completely agree with you smile05, thats a great thing about the school - everyone you speak to is so willing to help and do whatever they can. definatley refreshing from teh mostly cold, superiority-complex-afflicted adcoms of the process as a whole</p>

<p>WU is one of the most personal unis i've come across. The others are anonymous.
Nanette Tarbouni emails regularly. besides WUSTl sends tons of mail to me. I hear from every fortnight.
THat's enough to make you want to go there especially as i am international!</p>

<p>Sorry guys...Jerome Strickland takes the cake.</p>

<p>Steven Frappier is really cool as well, he's really down-to-earth and easy to talk to. WUSTL has people that make you feel comfortable and that act like they want to hear what you have to say.</p>
