How did you prepare for the interview?

Reading on SDN, reading DO resources, drfreely.com

What impressed you positively?

The auditoriums are pretty nice.

What impressed you negatively?

No wireless internet. The School is VERY ugly. No real campus feel. Student center is pretty non-existant.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That Mare Island is totally a wreck! It is a pathetic clean-up job littered with ugly old naval ship yards and construction hangars. The school should have bought a nice plot in Benicia or elsewhere and build a totally new campus!

What are your general comments?

The panel was composed of the librarian, a DO, a student and a pHD. I am pretty sure that the pHD mixed up my file with another student's. They did take the time to read our files however...

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
