<p>It interesting how much admissions offices can vary even among schools of similar academic ranking and reputation. Some are well oiled machines with efficiency and friendly people. Others...well, not so much. </p>
<p>Do you think there is enough of a correlation between admissions office functioning and the overall management level of a school to rule out a school for experiences that weren't so impressive? One school I am considering because it has strengths in fields of study I am interested in, was so unimpressive in terms of the admissions contact compared to others eg difficulty in arranging an alumni interview, info session not useful, stuffy, cobwebby facilities. </p>
<p>I know I won't be interacting with admissions if I matriculate but I wonder if it indicative of the functioning of the entire school. </p>
<p>Would love to hear others thoughts/discussions on this. Thanks!</p>
