How did you prepare for the interview?

Read SDN, went over my essays.

What impressed you positively?

Nothing. Faculty was unhappy, Students were unhappy.

What impressed you negatively?

The students there kept whispering "you dont wanna come here" because the faculty is confused and keeps changing their minds on many things. They keep blaming their lack of organization on the fact that the school is still kinda new.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That they had so many applications and that the faculty does not care about the students at all. Even at the interview, Ms. Zarrett had a split personality, in front of everyone she acted interested but once she was one on one, she yawned the entire time of the interview and practically looked at her watch several times. The other ppl just stared. Im glad I got accepted elsewhere because I wouldnt come here if they paid me. They seem biased and want to accept students that they know personally regardless of their academic performances and DAT scores. While at the school and on tour, I met many students who did poorly on the DAT and had low GPAs but were accepted because they knew someone at the school. Very disgusting. The tour guide himself said how many students at their school should not be there. I wonder who is making all the decisions after all.

What are your general comments?

Very Bad. If I would have known I wouldnt have spent the time to drive down from tampa, and wouldnt have spent the $ in applying here.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
