How did you prepare for the interview?

Browsed this website, reviewed current ethical issues, researched the school's program.

What impressed you positively?

The students were extremely friendly, down-to-earth, enthusiastic and helpful. The school seems to be very responsive to student concerns. The fellow interviewees were more interesting and pleasant than those I met at other interviews.

What impressed you negatively?

The suburban location. I hate driving and a car seems to be a necessity. The villages (SB and PJ) are very attractive though. More like New England than your typical uninteresting NY suburb.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I would have had more questions prepared for the current students. We met many students throughout the day.

What are your general comments?

A few general questions about myself and then various ethical dilemmas. It was a structured interview, but my interviewer was easy to engage in conversation and very helpful in addressing my questions.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
