How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read SDN postings and had my sister compose several ethical questions and questions regarding current news.

What impressed you positively?

Everyone was really nice and explained the interview process well. We also received some background information on the individuals conducting the interview.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That I was going to interview with 4 people in the room, instead of 1 or 2 at the max. One of the interviewers had two students shadowing and they sat in on the interview.

What are your general comments?

Overall I had a wonderful experience and was ultimately accepted. I think that applicants should try to break the ice while waiting to interview by talking with the other candidates. It relieved stress in my voice and allowed me to focus on something else instead of being nervous.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
