How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, spoke to previous people who had interviewed there.

What impressed you positively?

One interviewer was extremely nice, and the interview week was extremely well-organized. Tour was amazing as well.

What impressed you negatively?

I felt that I was being picked apart at certain points of the interview. One interviewer was on his laptop at one point, so I didn't really feel like I had their full attention.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That I would be facing such a tough audience!

What are your general comments?

Don't always listen to everything you hear, everyone had told me that the interview was extremely casual and that everyone was extremely nice, so when they weren't I was very thrown off. Be prepared for any scenario!

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
