How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, interview rehearsal book, school's website, went over my application

What impressed you positively?

The students were very enthusiastic and kept telling us we should attend the school (even though they had just taken an exam and should have been pretty tired)

What impressed you negatively?

the student housing was nice for New York, but not as great as a lot of graduate housing I've seen at other institutions

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

we had to rush through our lunch and then we went outside in the really cold weather (I wish I had put my jacket on before)

What are your general comments?

Everyone was really warm from the start and made us all feel comfortable. The interview group size was about 10, which was a nice number to get to know the other interviewees and still have a lot of people to talk to.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
