How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, browsing their website.

What impressed you positively?

Admissions staff was very friendly and helpful - introduced themselves. Met with the assicoate Dean who was also very friendly and did his best to help us relax. They gave us plenty of time to speak with first and second year students.

What impressed you negatively?

Lack of MS3 and MS4 students present. The morning Student Services information session dragged on and on and ooon!

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Dress warmly if you're interviewing during the winter season - you'll walk outside a couple of times. I didn't find the students to be as overly excited as mentioned on other sdn inerview feedbacks.

What are your general comments?

Very straight-forward. Question after question.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
