read sdn questions, answered questions out loud, had friends interview me

What impressed you positively?

Friendliness of the admissions committee when they were interviewing me, the location of the school is across from Bryant Park and in the middle of everything!

What impressed you negatively?

There was one student that gave us a brief tour of the school--it wasn't very thorough. I wish I had more time to see the classrooms, etc...

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

The key to this school's interview, at least from my experience, is to be yourself. It is important to come into the interview relaxed, confident, and enthusiastic. The questions they ask seem to me like they just want to know more about me and if i could handle the coursework and being away from home.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
