How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, ccom website, reviwed my application

What impressed you positively?

the facilities are very nice, the students seem very welcoming

What impressed you negatively?

the students are in class from 8-5 pretty much EVERY day and there is a min. of 2 test per week...pretty stressful and a lot of the students who were giving the tour or just stopped by to drop in, although very friendly had a lot of negative things to say about the school.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

that they are make slight changes in their cirriculum...although no one could really explain the changes very well

What are your general comments?

you meet in a large group with all the other prospectives interviewing that day (juice,water, breakfast bars are provided), an introduction and ice breaker was done by a person from the admissions staff. Then the dean stopped by to say hello and give her sales pitch for CCOM. After that you are split into 2 groups one half interviews first (very easy and laid back and all they have is a file with your application, no scores) while the other half does financial aide/tour and then you switched...after everyone was done interviewing there was a wrap up and then lunch...the day last from 8-1...lots of down time.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
