How did you prepare for the interview?

I read the school's woefully dated website.

What impressed you positively?

The students were nice. The school's in a beautiful location, and they have a very chill schedule for their students.

What impressed you negatively?

The facilities of the school were really rundown. The admissions office comes off as arrogant. It was very disorganized. Basically, you have two interviews anytime between 9 am and 4 pm or so. The day starts with a short presentation, and you get lunch and a short tour. Other than that, you're left to your own devices, so bring reading material.
