💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
About what makes Harlem underserved.
How did you prepare for the interview?
Website, SDN, reading local news about Harlem, school recent news, watched information videos.
What impressed you positively?
The open access to the college, which is open 24/7. The locality to the rest of Manhattan.
What impressed you negatively?
The interviewers were rude. They put down their own students. I was especially unimpressed with the attitude of one of the interviewers, who seemed mad she had to interview me since I was the last interview of her day. This school made the other schools I interviewed at seem better in comparison. They need to realize all of these students have other interviews, they are not the only fish in the sea. Treat those coming to your school with respect.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
Consider this school if you can genuinely afford to live in Manhattan and love the city. There are schools out there just as good in much more affordable areas that will leave a better impression on you.
