How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, read my personal statement, should have mentally prepared more.

What impressed you positively?

Small, community atmosphere. Openess of students and staff. Students seemed fun, sane, intelligent, relaxed. You obviously get to know everyone. Dr. Haight. The Mare Island Campus is fine. If you can look past some stuff, it's pretty cool actually. I'm definetly excited about going to this school after visting.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing really.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The difficulty of the panel format of the interview. Very akward. It's not a discussion. They don't ask you follow up questions. You are really on the spot. You really need to review everything you submitted before you go.

What are your general comments?

I was really nervous, for some unknown reason.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
