9 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

8 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

I read over my file and essays for PNWU, then went over the feedback for some other schools, as I did not see many questions listed for PNWU at the time I was preparing.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

The interviewers were friendly and helpful in answering the questions I had for them.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

Not much; the interviewers are supposed to act "scripted" and not allow prompting or express emotion but mine did. Some people had interviewers that were very stoic, as they were supposed to be, so it depends on who you get.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

There was not much that needing excessive preparation, so nothing really.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

I was just amused by how they have a script they have to read to you at the beginning of the interview to make it "standardized," I suppose. For the most part, though, it's a pretty normal interview with relatively nice people.
