How did you prepare for the interview?

Read SDN, read the U of M website.

What impressed you positively?

The students are really happy, interesting, fun people. I would love to go to school with that group.

What impressed you negatively?

The school seems a bit pressed for money. I don't see that getting better as long as Pawlenty is governor.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Applicants are told to arrive at different times. I had one of the later arrival times, so even though I got there a bit early, I felt late. That threw me off a bit.

What are your general comments?

Although my interviewer was a bit challenging (I had to defend everything; he seemed to think I had lied on my application - I had NOT!), the school seems pretty good. I'm not sure it's the right fit for me, but I can definitely see other people having a great experience here.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
