How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

I read past SDN interview posts and looked in the forums for sample questions.

What impressed you positively?

I was impressed with the early hands on experience students receive during their 1st year.

What impressed you negatively?

I didn't care for the small computer lab and the lack of a Wireless network. I also didn't care for the dress code. (Of course these issues are by no means a show-stopper for me.)

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish I knew how relaxed the interviewer was going to be. The interviewer was very nice and basically indicated that the interview will be seriously considered when reviewing all other applicants.

What are your general comments?

The interview was pretty easy and didn't cause a lot of stress. (If you're concerned about the interview, you need not be.) The questions are all very basic and they don't try to trip you up.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

No responses
