How did you prepare for the interview?

Read through SDN, looked through the behavioral questions that were emailed to us.

What impressed you positively?

Everyone (students, faculty, staff) was very friendly and enthusiastic.

What impressed you negatively?

We missed out on a tour! Darn fire. *shake fist*

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The weather was AWESOME today. I wish I didn't have to lug around my wool coat.

What are your general comments?

The set-up of the interview reminded me of speed dating without switching partners--a closed-file interview with everyone in the same room, but at different stations. Everything was very chill, and it was so conversational that I hardly noticed I was being interviewed. Everyone was very friendly, especially the student volunteers, who will basically lay out everything for you so there are no surprises. Everything that they asked were typical behavioral-style interview questions tailored to you.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
