How did you prepare for the interview?

Read feedback from this site, read a little about the school, and relaxed.

What impressed you positively?

The school's facilities and programs offered were much more extensive than I had realized.

What impressed you negatively?

Part of the tour was pointless simply because they were telling us things that went way too in depth than touring students really needed to know.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

Very positive interview overall. In fact, I enjoyed it so much that I hated to leave. The questions posted are really political, but the interviewers were really trying to get me to think about things and they were trying to see if I could think on my feet. They weren't as concerned with the actual response as long as I thought about it and backed it up a little.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
