✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

8 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

8 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read SDN posts and be comfortable with yourself.

What impressed you positively?

How relaxed everyone was around the building... students and admissions staff

What impressed you negatively?

How the interview process was not geared toward getting to know you personally. Although it was open file, some people were reading it while you were sitting in front of them on their computer. By spending 10 minutes with 4 different people doesn't allow them to know you as a person, rather than file with your name on it.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

it would be a "speed dating" interview format.

What are your general comments?

Seems like a good learning environment overall although the school itself seems to blend into surrounding downtown areas of Milwuakee. I was not used to this so I found it odd. Also, go to the Milwuakee Ale House to eat.... great food, beer, and service!

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
