How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN and personal statement

What impressed you positively?

The students and interviewer were really nice.

What impressed you negatively?

I don't like the interview setup. All candidates were interviewed at different tables in the same room. No privacy and it can easily interfere with each other. I know it's because of the fire. But they should've done a better job than that.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

You don't need to get there so early. One hour before your interview time is good enough unless you really want to talk to the student ambassadors for a long time.

What are your general comments?

I got there early and waited in a room with student ambassadors. We had a chat, but generally they were talking and introducing about the school. Then we went to a room for the writing assessment about 45 min before the interview time. After the writing, we went to a room to talk to one faculty member for 30 min.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
