How did you prepare for the interview?

Read this website and previous feedback.

What impressed you positively?

This school is amazing. I almost didn't apply but I'm very glad I did. You actually feel like you're being recruited when you go there.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

There will be many other students in the waiting room with you. This allows for good conversation as everyone is nervous.

What are your general comments?

The interview is laid back. They give you water but you won't need it. Four formal questions, and then they do followup questions after that. The interview time is much too short to get everything in so talk about your biggest points first. This school is a rising star. I think the only people who would discount it are people who have not yet gone there.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
