✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Researched the school to discover why I'd want to go there, talked to students, SDN, reviewed application and made up possible questions and replies.

What impressed you positively?

The people interviewing me were really friendly and made me feel relaxed. Also, the students seemed happy there.

What impressed you negatively?

Lunch was lacking and breakfast was non-existent (good thing I ate first).

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish I had known that it would be a long, hungry day. Once the interview was over I was ready to leave. Also wish I knew that even though people complain about the price of NSU, they do have half and full scholarships that some people can qualify for, as well as, all kinds of fellowships/internships to supplement tuition.

What are your general comments?

Overall, my interview experience was awesome! Everyone was really nice and I felt well prepared. I read every entry for Nova on SDN and I wasn't asked anything that surprised me. I was asked more things than I can list which related to my application, because at the end of the interview it was more like a conversation. It was clear the interviewers knew my application and made several comments about things in my essays and even quoted some things...think those essays through!

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
