How did you prepare for the interview?

Video recorded myself answering all SDN questions to check mannerisms, and drove the routes from where I was staying to the school and back the night before.

What impressed you positively?

I can't wait to take advantage of all the awesome technology they have!

What impressed you negatively?

The parking situation and prices.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The interviewers have a list of your extracurriculars and experience. I wish I could've gotten the tour first so I would've had more to talk about when they asked me why VCU.

What are your general comments?

Everyone there genuinely tries their best to help you do well and relax. Expecting to come out tense and anxious, I ended up having a really good time (thats right, I had fun at an interview!)
