No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

read SDN, reviewed my application

What impressed you positively?

facilities were top notch, and the school is still expanding... architecturally exceptional campus

What impressed you negatively?

no diversity at the school, and the school is removed from downtown

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

the local 'pizza by the slice' restaurant was not nearly as great as the students claimed

What are your general comments?

Great school as far as the facilities and curriculum go. The school is ~20% minority, but still not diverse enough for my liking. Otherwise, no complaints, though Portland was not as great as I expected it to be.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
