What are your general comments?
My interviewer, although nice towards me, seemed to be rather harried and frustrated that day. We kept getting interrupted constantly, so the interview itself was a bit choppy and rather quick. I did my best to convey my interest in the school and answer the questions (all of which were pretty standard) in the time alotted. Keeping my fingers crossed and hoping for the best.

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
Why do you have 2 W's (my first and only interview where any specific grades were asked about, kind of caught me off-guard).

SDN, reviewed file
What impressed you positively?
Student tour was very well done, the school seems to be a very hands-on-experience driven institution. The student body seems to be happy and tight-knit.
