How did you prepare for the interview?

Read SDN, reflected on a previous interview and determined how I thought I could answer questions better. I didn't write answers down and memorize them though, I didn't want to sound rehersed.

What impressed you positively?

The school is nice, Erie is a bigger city with a small town feel, so there seems like there is a lot to do. It's a clean school with a lot of students.

What impressed you negatively?

There were waaay too many people at the interview. It didn't feel very personal sometimes.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That there would be fourteen other people there with me.

What are your general comments?

I arrived at the school a little before 8 and went in and received a nametag. We sat in a conference room and chatted amongst ourselves until the student tour guide came and got us. Then we toured the school. Then we sat in a conference room and listened to a bunch of different informaitonal type things while each person got pulled out of the room to interview. After that we had lunch with a few students and then left.
