What impressed you positively?

The enthusiasm of the students, the incredibly welcoming and cooperative environment with students and faculty. The facilities in the TMC, namely technology and how they are catered for learning.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

School is right in the thick of things. It gets really humid there. There's not a lot of diversity in the student body.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That interviewers can ask controversial questions, and that what kinda suit, shirt, or tie, you wear seems not to matter at all. That they won't really ask you about anything in your app, but really want to see how you handle stress or pointed questions.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

School has great facilities and superb learning environment. The philosophy is extremely contagious, and it seems that all the students have bought into it. This was my first interview though, so I have nothing to compare it to.
