How did you prepare for the interview?

It was my first interview so I figured this would be the most I could prepare. Read over questions here, practiced answering them in front of a mirrow, did a test drive to the school the day before, made sure I left early to beat traffic on the LIE, prayed, and tried to relax as much as possible.

What impressed you positively?

The school's all wired, lectures online, diversity of students, student body didn't appear too stressed, OMM lab, lots of parking!

What impressed you negatively?

Big class size, high tuition

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That my suit gets really wrinkly! I would have been more careful.

What are your general comments?

Since this was my first interview, I felt that this was the most I would have to prepare for any of my interviews. Right before the interview, as I sat in my car before going in the building, I pepped myself up and calmed my nerves by just appreciating the fact that I got the interview in the first place. Also, they stick all the interviewees in one room, and there's lots of waiting, so it also calmed me down to talk to others.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
