How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, google for interview questions, practiced in the mirror speaking out loud to myself.

How close students and faculty were to eachother in the program. I liked the TBL exercise.

The high-interest loans that students have to get.

What are your general comments?

I felt like the interviewers were more interested in grilling me with tough questions than trying to get to know me. I received my acceptance letter a week and half later though, so I think I answered their questions well.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

The admissions staff is very good at responding to email but they never pick up the phone.
