How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN interview feedback, glanced at secondary, spoke at length with current M2

What impressed you positively?

Grady! Student satisfaction.

What impressed you negatively?

The buses don't run on schedule and the drivers will stop at random corners and get out of the bus and say they'll "be right back."

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That I didn't really need a change of shoes for the tour and that my suit trousers were suddenly too big for me.

What are your general comments?

It was a long day (I was so tired by lunch time and had interviews afterward). The group interview wasn't really that big a deal, no more or less stressful than one-on-one. Each interview was about half an hour, and all they had access to beforehand was each interviewee's personal statement.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Bring the healthy snacks (fruits etc.) back!
