How did you prepare for the interview?

Reread all material that I sent them, researched their website, AACOM booklet, practiced questions.

What impressed you positively?

Students could not say enough about the school!! I've been there twice, once to tour at a conference, once to interview, and each time I found at least 5 to 6 people to talk to and all loved the place. They said students were helpful towards each other, lectures were come or go, profs were great.

What impressed you negatively?

Not too organized. There were four of us, and after breakfast we just sat there while each of us was interviewed individually. The other three were cool, so it was all good.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

to eat more at breakfast or to bring a small snack.

What are your general comments?

Great interview....I actually felt like they should have asked more or grilled me more. It seemed too too easy, so that could be good or bad.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
