How did you prepare for the interview?

read SDN interview feedback, read all the NSU info they sent me, checked out their website.

What impressed you positively?

The facilities were top-notch and the students seemed upbeat and down to earth- no one seemed terribly stressed out or unhappy.

What impressed you negatively?

The INSANE traffic! One student told us it takes him 45 min. every morning to drive the 8 miles from his apartment. Also, I didn't really like the HUGE OMM and histo labs (row after row of microscopes and OMM tables). Makes it seem too big and overwhelming.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

how big NSU is!!

What are your general comments?

Overall I didn't think I did too great- my interview was slightly intimidating (4 middle-aged men vs. me) and I had gotten about 4 hrs. sleep the night before, so I was quite frazzled. But they must have thought I did ok because I got accepted.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
