How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read SDN interview feedback and practiced questions. Printed out all kinds of material from the Quillen website. Made a word page of questions that I wanted answered.

What impressed you positively?

The campus was beautiful. Everyone in the admissions office is very friendly. They explain the selection process in great detail including when the admissions committee will be meeting again to make final selections.

What impressed you negatively?

One of the student interactions was a little arrogant and unprofessional considering they were interacting with interview candidates.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I had known that a community represenative interviewer was an option. However, I did not have questions prepared for her. It was difficult because I am from the area and had no questions about the community.

What are your general comments?

I encourage everyone who looks at this interview feedback to take the time to enter yours. It is important for future candidates to keep the feedback current. We are all in this together. If you withdraw information, take the time to deposit information.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
