✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

7 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

8 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

I read the interview feedback, looked around on SDN forums, reviewed my applications, and took a deep breath.

What impressed you positively?

The students and faculty are EXTREMELY nice and helpful.

What impressed you negatively?

I wasn't too hot on the location. I need grass, trees, and sky. But this is available in a 30 min drive.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish I was better prepared for the hang out session with the 4th years while we were waiting on our interviewers. I felt like I was not sociable enough.

What are your general comments?

There are two interviews (4th year student closed file and faculty open file) and yet you're being evaluated while in the waiting room with the other applicants and 4th years. I really enjoyed the tour and the lunch. I stayed with a student host who took me around town and gave me more insight into the school. It was a blast.
