What impressed you positively?

Compared to other interviews I have had, this interview was great. It was really just a conversation and they both had read my file and were prepared to ask me insightful questions.

What impressed you negatively?

Some of the satellite campuses aren't exactly cities I would like to live in.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

This had a much more laid back feeling than I was expecting. I definitely over prepared, especially being able to spout out the 9 competencies and their definitions at all 3 levels-not necessary.
