How did you prepare for the interview?

Reread through my application. Went on other interviews previously

What impressed you positively?

I enjoyed the enthusiastic tour, as well as the friendliness of the staff

What impressed you negatively?

Location. I have a friend who attends who gave me certain insights. Buffalo is 8-9 hours drive from NYC. Very bad weather (cold and lots of snow)most of the year. Parking and shoveling snow can be a hassle. The city reminds me of a lonely midwestern town with friendly older people, but not so good for the single life.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The people I talked to who weren't a part of my interview (hotel staff for example) made me think the weather was worse then i previously thought.

What are your general comments?

Very low stress... conversational. Be prepared for a lengthy tour.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
