How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN interview feedback, going over answers with multiple people, and talking to my boss who graduated from Midwestern.

What impressed you positively?

Every single faculty member that I interacted with was very down to earth. The interviewers were very nice and laid back. Everyone tried to make us as comfortable as possible.

What impressed you negatively?

I wish we could have seen more of the classrooms and lab spaces.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

study the SND feedback, don't take up too much time answering the questions because I heard there were some students who didn't even get a chance to answer, and just go with the flow. This interview was actually a really good experience for me and I think others enjoyed it as well.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

I think it would be a good idea to let interviewees see more of the classroom facilities, the dorms,
