SDN, practice interview

What impressed you positively?

The facilities and how nice the students and faculty really were. I like the new curriculum they have developed and the societies they break the students up into when they enter the school.

What impressed you negatively?

The area directly around the school isn't the nicest but the school is amazing and other close by cities are great.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

To not be stressed about the interview at all. They are not the admissions committee they are just their to help your application come to life. They also offer a free shuttle bus (sfec.org) from the trail station to the all around the school. You can get to the Tri-Rail for free by a shuttle to and from the airport as well. The public bus is wayyyy cheaper than a cab ($1.25/ride) and the schedule can be found on google maps.

What are your general comments?

This school definitely exceeded my expectations.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

They need to be more responsive for calling/emailing back students when they schedule their intervie
