How did you prepare for the interview?

Researched the school through the website, read SDN, and really that's all. There aren't any tricky questions. They are WONDERFUL!

What impressed you positively?

I'm amazed by the campus and how happy the students are. The facilities are top-notch! Also, Angie is the nicest person on the face of the planet. :)

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing really... I wish the school weren't so far away. The interviewers may not seem super duper enthusiastic, but they are certainly not rude or negative.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That there are no taxis or shuttles in Lewisburg. I had to scramble and find a rental service that lets 23-year-olds drive their cars. :P

What are your general comments?

Relax. This school is going to be one of the most laid-back interviews you will ever have. I was accepted 4 days after the interview, so they have a great response time!

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
