How did you prepare for the interview?

I collected questions and reviewed them as well as mock-interviewed with another student

What impressed you positively?

The people (staff, faculty and students) were very friendly.

What impressed you negatively?

Distance to parking; also, the school is a bit more of a party school than I prefer, and some of the current students conveyed that.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

They didn't inform us that we could leave after our interview was done so a bunch of us waited in the conference room longer than we needed to.

What are your general comments?

Overall it was excellent and I enjoyed meeting members of the faculty, who seemed genuinely interested in me as an applicant.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
