No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, reading up on the school, mock interviews

What impressed you positively?

The student cohesiveness, the facilities were nice, the gym facilities are awesome, of course FL is beautiful.

What impressed you negatively?

How huge the campus is and how disconnected some areas are from others, the video they showed us (it kind of felt like they were trying to sell us on the school).

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How huge the campus is and how city like the Ft. Lauderdale area is.

What are your general comments?

Well, we showed up around 830 and they took us up to watch a movie about the school, which was kind of tacky. Then half of us interviewed and half went on a tour of the school. The interview was very relaxed and conversational for me. But I really think it depends on which interviewers you have. I really liked the overall experience of the campus, but not really sure if it's right for me though. I was definately impressed with their library and gymnasium facilities, and the sportiveness of the students.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
