How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, mock interviews with my sister

What impressed you positively?

The students and faculty seemed very friendly and laid back. There was a familial type of closeness amongst everyone. The fact that the program is accelerated is a big plus also.

What impressed you negatively?

Stockton. Someone in the group said that they called to order takeout but the restaurant wouldn't deliver to where he was staying in downtown because it was too dangerous. The fact that Stockton is number two behind Oakland in crime rate isn't particularly settling either.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That it was going to rain cats and dogs. Check the weather!

What are your general comments?

Awesome student body, faculty, and program. Just a bit weary of the surrounding area...although I was told that rent in Stockton is extremely cheap.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
