What impressed you positively?

Students and staff appear genuinely excited and committed to success. The campus is brand new and built with growth in mind. I saw nothing that made me think, "I wish that they had done X instead" when it came to facilities. Students were very friendly. Based upon conversations with residents in Yakima, they community is very supportive of the school.

What impressed you negatively?

I personally hated this interview style. It isn't very stressful per se but it is very awkward. I felt as if my answers were stilted even though in the (short) interactive portion at the end I was told I am was very articulate. I am usually a strong interviewer but this type of interview format neutralized any skill or advantage I would have had.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

Because of staffing limitations, there was a lot of down time for some students between the end of lunch and tours and the start of their interview. For example, I sat around for three hours waiting. You can't really do anything (like nap) while you wait so you just sit and wait and wait and... At least it was a good time to get to know some of the current students and fellow applicants.
