How did you prepare for the interview?

My grandma made me breakfast and I ate it. Also, I stared into the mirror and told myself that I can't blow this interview.

What impressed you positively?

The facilities were absolutely amazing. Everyone was extremely helpful and all of the students seemed genuinely happy to be there. The location is amazing, right across from Forest Park, and near great shopping, food, and entertainment.

What impressed you negatively?

When I was leaving the parking lot after the interview, the gate wouldn't go up. Turns out I had to push a button to call security.

Everyone at the interview was a lot smarter than me.

What are your general comments?

Overall, the interview was great. I actually had fun, which is weird, because I usually dread things like this. I love St. Louis, I love the school, the people, the treatment I received. I probably won't get in, but at least I gave it my best shot.
