How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN

What impressed you positively?

I liked the school's layout and how close housing is...some housing seemed to be perfectly situated halfway b/t the school and downtown Syracuse

What impressed you negatively?

I thought the admissions did a terrible job presenting the school because of the way the schedule was set up (we basically weren't officially welcomed but rather given about an hour after we arrived to do whatever we pleased - either walk around campus, sit in on a class, or just chill in our assigned room)

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That the essay you write is the only thing your interviewer will have about you
