How did you prepare for the interview?

Read and rehearsed commonly asked interview questions. Do this! In the group interview, you could tell who didn’t practice.

What impressed you positively?

Location. When touring the students had very good things to say about the school. State of the art equipment. Pass rates.

One of the presenters for the presentation told everyone to wait until senior year to take the DAT. That is a bad idea. That and maybe PBL, but it seems to be excellent for those who like it.

That the interview was NOT stressful at all. Everyone was super friendly.
