SDN, practice interview questions, practice virtual interview

What impressed you positively?

Offered virtual interviews (COVID-19 safe!), very chill interview day, helpful student panel

What impressed you negatively?

Huge chunk of time in the middle of the day where nothing was going on but required attendance to afternoon sessions

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Semi-closed file: only have CV (upload one if you are applying here! it is "optional" on their supplementary app), personal statement, and secondary essays.

Conducted virtual interviews, utilized zoom breakout rooms, organized day, strict 30 min limit on zoom

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Assign virtual tour as a pre-interview task and offer student panel the night before or early-morning of rather than at the very end of the day to avoid a huge gap/break
