At the school
How did you prepare for the interview?
Read SDN and remembered my life.
What impressed you positively?
The Campus was beautiful and seemed to have all the facilities they might need including a gym and housing. Also the board pass rate is on point.
What impressed you negatively?
Although they boast an open door policy, I got the feeling like there was not a good student/faculty relationship. I also felt like they just grouped the Pods in with the other schools and didn't really give them enough attention.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
That I would have to wait for an hour for the day to start and then wait over an hour with nothing to do after my interview was over. They also did not give any presentations and only answered questions you had. Come with a lot of questions, or else you won't get any info. I also asked to go to the financial aid office after the interview in order to get a packet and talk with them about tuition and costs.
What are your general comments?
The way the test schedule is, you will have no free time, not even on weekends. YOu will have everything you need in that location and the campus is very, very nice. Board pass rate is the best you can ask for, but you need to be very proactive to get what you want from this school. They are not helpful unless you know the right questions to ask.
What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
They can make sure they give you all the information you might need to know about the school in order to make an informed decision. They can pay more attention to the Pods interviewing instead of making them wait for the student ambassadors or the other people interviewing.
