✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

3 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

4 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Reviewing SDN feedback, talking with my friend at the school, talking with my student host.

What impressed you positively?

Maya Angelou Center, some of the research opportunities.

What impressed you negatively?

Almost everything else. Location, student body, class schedule and style, the 'incidents reporting system' wherein you can rat out your classmates, the fact that you have to swipe in to classes. The interview style and process is nerve wracking, and I don't imagine it's any more useful than a less-aggressive process would be.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

More about the curriculum and the student body.
