How did you prepare for the interview?

I spent some time reviewing SDN, reading my application and LOR's and brushing up on the details of my research. Big dinner and good night sleep and then I relaxed.

What impressed you positively?

Very low stress day, I had the opportunity to have good conversations with the interviewers. Everyone involved in the day was very friendly and helpful. The campus is new and very modern, the students seem happy. This school has built quite a solid reputation for being so young.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing really stood out as negative, all schools have some issues but VCOM seems very actively involved in finding and fixing shortcomings. A couple of applicants acted as if they were bored and did not want to be there (maybe nerves), I found that a little odd.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That my neck must have grown since I last wore my white shirt and tie! I just hope my face wasn't red all day.

What are your general comments?

Great school, great reputation, dynamic curriculum, happy students and dedicated faculty and staff.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
