How did you prepare for the interview?

Re-read my application, read feedback on SDN.

What impressed you positively?

The campus facilities. Mr. Haight, the Admissions Director, was also very encouraging and friendly.

What impressed you negatively?

The atmosphere at TUCOM seemed a little impersonal. My tour guide wasn't eager to answer my questions (especially when I asked him if they have wireless connection, which they don't). I didn't feel particularly enthused to be there (especially considering how excited I was to interview at the location in NV)

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

that the interviewer panel would be asking me ethical questions.

What are your general comments?

The interview was average. I didn't like the whole group interview atmosphere, I thought it was really impersonal. Also, it seemed like the interviewers were more interested in attacking the students then getting to know them.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

No responses
