How did you prepare for the interview?

I read SDN and went over my essays. Remember not to memorize exactly what you want to say. Just know what you what to say and let it flow out naturally during the interview.

What impressed you positively?

The current students there are very nice and have lots of pride in their school.

What impressed you negatively?

There was no formal tour of the school.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I was really nervous the night before the interview!! But, remember you will do fine. If I can do it and get accepted, you can too! Please be confident in yourself.

What are your general comments?

This was my first interview so I was initially very nervous, but there really is no reason to be nervous. My best advice is to remember to be confident in yourself; there's a reason why they ask you to come interview with them. Overall, the faculty and student interviewers were really nice. They basically asked me questions regarding the 300 word essay I wrote. It's a great school and I'm happy to say I got in!!
