What impressed you positively?

there was swarm of students that stopped by the waiting area and greeted us, the interviewees. They made the whole process less stressful and provided deeper insights in the school.

What impressed you negatively?

even though majority of the interviewee thought the interview was pretty not stressful, I ''felt'' like I was being attacked with demand for poor community college performance. But you know, I do have pretty wild academic history! LOL Hence, if you have any Ws or Ds or what not, be prepared to explain well.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

lunch was free! parking was free!
