How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, school's website, read through my app

What impressed you positively?

Location in a beautiful part of Indy, great facilities and modern technology, curriculum

What impressed you negatively?

There were at least 100 people interviewing the same day. Also, I felt somewhat out of place since there was an overabundance of minorities interviewing (probably 85% minorities). I don't really know why.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing, I was prepared and familiar with the area.

What are your general comments?

Interview was very predictable since almost all the questions asked I had read on SDN. The tour was pointless because there were like 40 people going at the same time and it was impossible to hear, or see (since I'm short). I wish I hadn't applied so late, because my interviewer told me if I had applied earlier, I would have gotten in no problem. She said I will most likely be on the waiting list. :( I already figured that would be the case though.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
