Gaye Sheffler of UPenn has a very quick, sassy, city-gal manner about her. You got the sense like she tells you like it is. I vote Gaye.
I vote for Grace Hershman at Jefferson.
don't know that he is the most famous but mr. larkin at usf is by far the nicest admissions person I have met.
I thought Grace Hershman was great, too.
Jennifer Welch - SUNY Upstate - is wonderful.
Dr. Amerish Bera at UC Davis is straight up da man!!
Anyone who inerviewed at BU might agree that Witzberg has to be the most interesting admissions person you will ever meet. He definitely has an interesting personality, and very memorable. Real nice guy.

I also loved her..she was so sweet!!! Also I put a vote in for Dr. Callahan at Jeff, who gets the award for quickest email replies and returned phone calls. She also wrote "Congratulations, Lyn" on the back of my acceptance card, which made me feel warm and fuzzy inside 😀

A third for Dr. Bera.
I'd say the mysterious Cassandra Sooter of Stanford--the most vague responses EVER when you inquire about application status.
As for the nicest, I'd go for Ellen Rosenblum at Case.

Yeah, he had quite a personality and was very nice. And I don't know why but he kind of reminded me of Balky from Perfect Strangers! Is that weird?
Lynda DuPay at UAMS. Also Monique and Dr Quinn at USC.

I don't know Monique, but anyone who goes only by a first name sounds pretty darn interesting. Think Madonna.
First vote definitely goes to Erica Black. Emory was my first interview, and she set the bar. Gaye Sheffler (Penn), Robert Ruiz (Michigan), and Richard Silverman (Yale) were also really nice and made it a point to mingle and talk with us lowly interviewees 🙂

I wish I knew her last name. She was the nicest!

I love Sheffler. She was so cool.
I liked Silverman, but wasn't sure if the feeling was mutual.

I wondered the same thing after he read from his applicant notes....
but I appreciated the effort he took to make the notes and to hang around answering questions. Dr. Frantz at Columbia also seems to be an admissions legend from reading past posts, but only a few people in my interview group got to meet him (because he was their interviewer).

I didn't get to meet Frantz but my impression of Columbia has been so largely negative and was reflected in my disposition that I fear a rejection is on its way.

Oh, definately!! And Gayle at UCI has the greatest stories about interviews gone wrong... She's a riot!

I second the vote for Jane from Mayo. I fell in love with the school and she had a huge part to play in that. unfortunatley, I'm left loving it from a distance on the waitlist 🙁 But the fact that I still have such fond memories of her and the school speaks volumes.
i77ac said:
I "third" this choice, but must add Barbara Porter and Patricia Barrier as well. Throughout the interviewing day, they expressed a genuine interest and maternalisitc compassion for all of the interviewees. And as i77ac suggested, it just does not get better than this 😀 ...
Rel Larkin from South Florida is certainly the most memorable for me. He's a fundamentalist Crhistian and a Navy vet. He's got gigantic eyes, yet is totally approachable.
NOT TRUE, her father is actually a billionaire investor involved in venture capital. There were rumors her father was behind the "Dreyfus Fund" but he isn't. He is ridiculously wealthy and she was loaded long before ever getting into acting. Can you say Trust Fund Baby?
