How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, read my application

What impressed you positively?

Very friendly P1 students, staff and faculty. They seemed to really be happy where they are and confident with the TBL style of teaching.

What impressed you negatively?

The facility was a bit smaller then what I imagined.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That they are going to split you in groups and you might interview the first thing in the morning or the last thing in the afternoon. Luckily I got my interview over in the morning but I felt bad for those who had to interview in the afternoon. They couldn't really relax during the video presentations and such.

What are your general comments?

I felt good with my interview. The interviewers were really nice and asked questions to know more about you rather then to grill you. I did get accepted three weeks later so I guess I did ok.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
