How did you prepare for the interview?

Read the website, SD.net

What impressed you positively?

WiFi everywhere, streaming video of all lectures, really supportive environment

What impressed you negatively?

I did not find the student body overly diverse. Everybody was either white or Asian. I saw maybe two black students and no Latinos. I also found the school to be sort of small, and the basement area felt like a worn dorm room. Seemed a little like a high school.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

The woman who interviewed me was pretty thorough, but she did not seem at all excited about the school. When it came time for me to ask questions she knew almost nothing about any of the school programs, and after several times of her telling me that she didn't know any details, I had to downshift into general &quot;what is your opinion about ___&quot; just so it would stop being embarrassing. Also, yes, the student &quot;interview&quot; was just having lunch with a student.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
