How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN

What impressed you positively?

EVERYTHING! The staff, faculty, and students were all so welcoming and genuine. They didn't try to fake it like most other schools and I could see that the students here are very bright and well-motivated.

What impressed you negatively?

Perhaps that there were snow in October, but they assured us that it's very rare that it happen this early on in the fall.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing really, the interview day was concise and thorough.

What are your general comments?

I fell in love with this school as soon as I left my interview. It was my first interview out of many interviews and I gotta say nothing compared to my first impression at this school. I just wish that it was in my home state. I'm a Californian so I am having a really tough time deciding between this school and the school in my home state mainly because I don't want to move away from family and friends.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

I had difficulty submitting my deposit. It was pretty stressful and no one contacted us to let us know it was because of their website being updated/ under-maintenance so when I called I was being transferred from one person to another and no one knew how to help.
