How did you prepare for the interview?

Looked up behavioral-type questions, chose from certain experiences what I wanted the interviewers to know about and formulated how I could answer questions relating to those experiences to showcase certain qualities about myself, practiced answering them out loud, and practiced interviewing with family, friends, and in a mock interview with a professional.

What impressed you positively?

The current students and tour guide seemed genuinely nice and friendly. The Dean was very warm and is very proud of the school and its accomplishments. New large animal facilities were great!
