How did you prepare for the interview?

Read SDN, primary & secondary application, talked to students and to one of my friends who inteviewed there the week prior

What impressed you positively?

The facilities were very modern. The faculty was pleasant (especially the lady at the info booth right at the entrance...what a sweetie!)

What impressed you negatively?

I was a little surprised at the size fo the gym. I figured it would be more accomidating with a class size and all...

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The class size.. although they profess that there is no competition. However, it may give students a chance to meet and mingle with new people almost everyday (I guess)

What are your general comments?

Get there, have breakfast with interview group and admissions faculty person. Wait in the "fish bowl" till your assigned interview time (dont worry. you will be so busy talking with the other students that you will be caught off-guard when they call you back) After my interview, had a tour and that was it...finished by 12:45pm

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
