What impressed you positively?

everyone except the interviewers were super nice

What impressed you negatively?

pretty tough interview, they went back and asked the same questions over again, like hypotheticals of two schools I could choose to go to and why i would choose that school or theirs

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

there are two interview time allotments--3 interviews in the morning, 3 in the afternoon. do the interview in the afternoon after the orientation session because they can give you a lot of info for that "why western" question

What are your general comments?

Stone-faced killers. I thought the interview went terribly because they looked like they were not having it. Everyone says it, but its true--be relaxed, because if youre not, you'll say a lot of "ums" "yeahs" and sound nervous like youre hiding something.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
