How did you prepare for the interview?

Using SDN interview feedback! Many of the question posted on this feedback were asked. It helped so much to have an answer ready.

What impressed you positively?

The interviewers were very friendly and casual. They wanted you do well. They made the interview feel like it wasn't a test but really a way for them to get to know you.

What impressed you negatively?

I don't like the behavioral interview questions, especially since they pretty much start with those immediately. I wished they would have asked more about me (what school I went to, where I was from, etc.) before they started the interview.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing. I felt prepared for the interview and the entire orientation process.

What are your general comments?

The interview day was about 4 and a half hours. You will do an interview, curriculum overview, campus tour, financial planning, and student q&a session in this time period. They provide lunch for you. It's a very laid back process.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
