What impressed you positively?

I was pleasantly surprised that I felt more at home here than I did at Western-Pomona. It shouldn't have been a surprise since I am from the NW. Still surprised by how I actually felt a difference in fit.

What impressed you negatively?

Might be a little too isolated as a school

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

Western is a mix of traditional panel interview and MMI. Split into 2 sections. Details are made available by school website. Pretty standard interview. I felt like they took fewer notes than my interviewers in Pomona. Hopefully a good sign?
