How did you prepare for the interview?

Read SDN well ahead of time, read interview feedback, read UNECOM's website, talked to current students

What impressed you positively?

The student tour guide was extremely friendly and all of the other students were welcoming and kind as well. The laboratory facilities are awesome and the school is right on the water.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing!

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Brush up on old courses and what happened in some of the more interesting ones. One of my questions was regarding a class that had caught their eyes because it was odd- I had to scramble to remember what it was about since I took it two and half years ago!

What are your general comments?

I was very nervous since this was my first (and, as it turns out, ONLY) interview. You meet with the other interviewees and watch a quick presentation after being introduced to the Dean or other administration. Then, you get your folder with your interview time and interviewer names on it. The interview itself was relaxed, more like a conversation than anything else. After the interview, the tour guide, who was an MSI, took the two interviewees on a tour of the school and then we were free to go.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
