How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, Shenandoah website, wrote out my responses to most common questions and reviewed them.

What impressed you positively?

Admissions coordinator was EXTREMELY nice and helpful. She came and introduced herself to me before I was interviewed by the current student and faculty member. She gave me some pointers and told me some questions they will probably ask that I should think about. She also told me the committee would be making decisions the following Wednesday and I should hear something the Friday after that.

What impressed you negatively?

Location is a little far from anything, but it helps by not allowing distractions!

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The class I sat in on was very long. I would have brought a snack.

What are your general comments?

My interview was on a Wednesday and the Admissions coordinator got back with me on the following Friday to tell me I was placed on the alternate list. :) It's better than a denial!

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
