How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, application, midwester.edu

What impressed you positively?

Facilities, beautiful campus, cafeteria, library, new student apartments under construction on campus.

What impressed you negatively?

A somewhat materialistic feel about students.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Unless you live on campus, you will probably commute to school. Downer's Grove is a nice litle suburb, but CCOM is on the edge of town on a busy street near the interstate.

What are your general comments?

The day begins at 8AM with an introduction from the Dean, then interviews. The interview was fairly short, with a panel of two faculty and one 4th year student. I felt like I was answering questions more than having a conversation with the interview panel. But it was a very friendly experience; low pressure.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
