How did you prepare for the interview?

sdn, brochure, my app, talked to current students

What impressed you positively?

How laid back and open the students are. My interviewers were great and matched my personality almost perfectly.They really stress diversity and community service serioulsly. Its not just talk. The location is great also, directly between York St (which is very first class) and spanish harlem.

What impressed you negatively?

That the dorms are all 4 or 6 people suits and its unlikely that i will be able to afford a normal 1 bedroom or studio apartment in midtown. The tour was a little toooo long, dang! My day started at 8:30 and didnt end until 3:30.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nada really

What are your general comments?

Overall, a very positive day. I left feeling good about the school and about my interviews. They stress that the interviews should be laid back so that your true personality can come out.
