How did you prepare for the interview?

Reading the SDN interview feedback for OSU. Reviewing my own application/ experiences and thinking about what I have learned from them and how I can apply them in different situations. (most interview questions happened to be situational questions)

What impressed you positively?

Everyone from the staff, students, and other applicants were extremely nice and welcoming. The entire experience was low stress and they even made a point in saying that they are only trying to get to know each applicant as a person and they are not intending to make you nervous or feel stressed.

What impressed you negatively?

nothing.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The interview is MMI format (which I prefer), so knowing that would've calmed my nerves ahead of time.
