How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, re-read my secondary and my primary application.

What impressed you positively?

the friendliness of the staff and students, the campus was pretty neat and not too far from the bay, and I got pretty lucky with the group of people I interviewed with. We all got a long really well and it made things go much smoother.

What impressed you negatively?

that the school is not associated with an undergraduate facility

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

nothing. It went very smooth.

What are your general comments?

I actually really liked the group interview, and that it was open file so that I didn't feel like I needed to prove myself as much because the interviewers already knew my background. Being in a group was really great too. We fed off each other and all really supported each other in there. Overall, it was the best interview experience I've had.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

none
