How did you prepare for the interview?

I had other interviews before this one so I was reading enough.

What impressed you positively?

The city mostly. Even though it was pretty far away, Denver is an awesome city, and the weather is great.

What impressed you negatively?

I was grilled by my first interviewer over and over as he kept changing the question I said was the most difficult. He kept trying to get me to say that I would get the MRI done. I don't have any idea what he was getting at. It was really annoying. Many of the students, and the STAFF treated us like we were worthless basically, especially if you are out of state.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

I have to agree with someone who wrote before that people were very arrogant. Students made comments and laughed about how the interviewees would be out of breath walking around because we are not used to the elevation, one was specifically directed at me, and I was asked if I needed to stop. I was in much better shape than the tour guide, so I took a lot of offense to these comments, and they were just plain unnecessary. Plus Sean Spellman had no idea where I was from. He needs a globe or something to see that I lived no where near Indianapolis, nor was I a colts fan. Later I sent emails regarding my english class credits numerous times and never got a response, and when I called, the office acted like the never had received them. I'm sorry but when I send 4 emails to the exact addresses, I find that hard to believe. I don't know about other people, but they treated me like I never should have applied. Thank God I got into a much better school.
