How did you prepare for the interview?

Spent several hours researching the school and the professors, SDN

What impressed you positively?

The interviewers really made sure they were getting to know me. The current students were friendly and answered many questions for us.

What impressed you negatively?

Everything ran really late. This may have been because I was part of the first interview group of the year. People that were in interview groups hours after mine were interviewed before me because they didn't allocate enough time for the interview. Note.. if your interview is at 1pm and you know its going to take 2-3 hours, you are not going to make a 4:00 flight. (this wasn't the school's fault, applicants should have planned accordingly). We didn't really get a tour.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

Ladies- wear flats. I took the Metro in from MD and the station is several blocks from the school. Other applicants that drove said parking was difficult. I was nervous about the math test but it wasn't difficult. Just remember to brush up on derivatives. I was accepted to this program and got my letter about 6 weeks later. Feel free to PM me if you have additional questions.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
