How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, looked at their CD, website

What impressed you positively?

The students were very enthusiastic and very friendly. Nice facilities!

What impressed you negatively?

Interview itself- the director of admissions was one of the interviewers and was not at all friendly towards me!

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That they will not ask you to clarify something you say, just take it as is even if they hate or disagree with what you say.

What are your general comments?

Waiting was terrible- I had one of the later interviews, but luckily student after student came in to talk to us. The tour was great, the facilities nice, but the interview itself was higher stress than SDN had led me to believe it would be.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
