How did you prepare for the interview?

Read my application, SDN, did a mock interview with a friend,

What impressed you positively?

TMC (need i say more?), Dr. Kellaway, the students (at lunch they were so funny I almost spit my ice tea out), the video at the beginning of the day (it was corny but kinda broke the ice for the day).

What impressed you negatively?

it snowed my day (yeah SNOWED in houston), so they had to cancel the bus tour which was just disappointing. The social the night before was ok, but the music was SO LOUD that it was hard to talk to everyone.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

I really really loved this school. I like their philosophy and the feel of the school. I hope that I match there! It seems like everyone has a good experience in their interviews which was nice but at the same time, I wish I had more a barometer of how I did (just cause I had two good interviews- I laughed a lot in both) I still feel like I have NO IDEA if I have a chance getting in.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
