How did you prepare for the interview?

It was my first and was scheduled very fast. I read through every page of the website I could dig up. Read SDN.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

The campus, the student ambassadors as well as other students, the kindness from faculty and staff

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

nothing

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The campus is not really in a bad neighborhood (I think it's all in what you're used to). I wish I knew more about Dr. Butterworth (their resident matriarch, if you will)-- she still conducts interviews and is known to ask tough ethical questions.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

Overall the experience was excellent. They were very organized from the hotel pick up to the schedule of the day to the hotel drop-off in time to catch my flight. I was extremely impressed with the campus and facilities and had a great time chatting with my interviewers. Everything you read on SDN about it being conversational is 100% true. Even if they ask you a tough question, just relax, take a breath, and let them listen to your reasoning. Half the time they aren't looking for a "right" answer anyway.
