How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, other interviews, read schools website & brochures, checked out campus the day before

The interview day worked well to sell the program. The student guides seemed very enthusiastic and helpful. The beautiful buildings across the campus.

What impressed you negatively?

A bit hot inside the buildings and lunch wasn't great, but that's just me.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

They really know your file well. It wasn't a problem for me, but they were curious about a few things wanting more details than I gave in the small AACOMAS boxes.

What are your general comments?

I felt like the trip was well worth it. There wasn't much downtime during the day and everything was very informative.
