10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read over applications. Prepared for all the ethical questions on this thread, which I didn't end up needing.

What impressed you positively?

Dr. Capers!, the student interviewer-- felt like an opportunity to talk to a peer and not be judged, the relaxed but enthusiastic students, the school's dedication to students, the support and opportunities, Jeni's ice cream, the administrative staff who very patiently helped me track down and get on the right bus after the interview day

What impressed you negatively?

None. Maybe the big class size, but the school seems to be aware of it and it the resources to support it. Students have also said that they don't feel like the class is too big.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That my heel would break because I would have brought an extra pair of shoes :(
