Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

Curriculum, board scores, student reviews

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

Some interview groups had only one person interviewing them, whereas I had 3! There is a huge variation in how they interview. Also, one interviewer made comments about another school I had an interview at, that was not professional.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That the interview would be that intense (3 interviewers staring at me while I sat in the middle of the room on a chair). Also, I wish I would have known that 100 students (I think 1/6 of all those interviewing) were being interviewed on the same day.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

It was a good experience, they offer a lot of information about the curriculum, tuition etc. I was impressed until the point of the interview where the interviewers were very stand-off-ish, and others who interviewed with the same 3 that I did had the same response. It was not encouraging at all, and made me change my feeling about the school.
