What impressed you positively?

Not a whole lot to tell you the truth.

What impressed you negatively?

People there were not nearly as genuinely nice as other places I had interviewed and overall seemed disinterested in selling us on the school. They seemed very full of themselves and the interview day was very unorganized.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

I killed the interview. In fact my interviewer emailed me and let me know that I had a very strong interviewer. My second interviewer hadn't looked over my file at all prior to meeting with me and it was a huge waste of time. Nice person, but for him to be defending me in front of the comittee left me feeling a bit dissapointed. I had taken my time to interview, I think it is their responsibility to be prepared.
