Casual dialogue with faculty member. He had already reviewed my entire file and read my esssay, so he was able to ask introspective and meaningful questions. I felt very at ease and was able to be myself, which is a good thing.
💬 Interview Process
What was the most interesting question?
How will you decide between the schools who accept you?
How did you prepare for the interview?
Talked with current students, read SDN and UofP website
What impressed you positively?
Everything. The staff, faculty, and students were all very hospitable and enthusiastic about the new interviewees. They were excited to see the new potential students. Everyone was optimistic about receiving an early interview and your chances of being accepted. The fact that there are only two specialty programs(with one being in Oakland) so students get a wide variety of special cases during their tenure as students. The public transportation in San Francisco is excellent, and the city and bay area are beautiful and full of life.
What impressed you negatively?
Nothing really, just the fact that San Francisco is crazy expensive and it is almost a requirement to leave within close proximity of the school to survive without a car.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
That everybody would welcome you as family during the interview. It was very, very impressive.
