✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

10 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Researched the school extensively, I had a friend ask me the questions here on SDN interview feedback without practice and then went back and formulated a rough outline for what I would want to get across on each.

What impressed you positively?

The staff!! Everyone is extremely friendly. Once the school is built it will be state of the art. The curriculum seems to be a great new approach. The price is in the lower quintile for all schools in the country.

What impressed you negatively?

I'm not a fan of the Greenville area. It's going to be rough the 1st year not having a building.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How truly relaxed the atmosphere was, and that none of the interviewers threw out any tricky questions and didn't grill me on any questions about my application.

What are your general comments?

Phenomenal staff with a great atmosphere, technology and building will be top of the line,

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Would have been nice to have a bit more takehome info in the information packet. Materials we did get were very generic, not school specific
