How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN feedback, school's literature

What impressed you positively?

The majority of facilities. They were upgrading labs; library was nice, rec center was phenomenal. People were also very personable.

What impressed you negatively?

The lecture hall. It was a little run-down and not much leg room for those over 6'6'' like myself... a minor minor negative.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I interviewed with an M4. I would have had some different questions ready had I known this was gonna happen.

What are your general comments?

It was a good expereince. The interviews were very relaxed and relatively easy; interviewers weren't intimidating at all. Columbia seemed like a nice city to live in. Basically, I came away liking about every aspect of the school more than when I went in.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
