SDN, read over my file, checked out the website.

What impressed you positively?

The student interviewer was very pleasant.

What impressed you negatively?

I got on a bus and drove through the slums to my interview location. My faculty interviewer seemed to really dislike me. We got into a religious debate and I tried very hard not to be offensive, but I think he did not like my answers.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I stayed at a bed&breakfast type place the night before and had an allergic reaction to the dust and mold there. I didn't sleep well. Don't forget your allergy pills!

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

When you give out folders to interviewing students, it would be nice if you included their names and schedules in there instead of having us shuffle papers around.
