How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN

What impressed you positively?

The organization of the interview day was well planned. Everything was conducted according to schedule.

What impressed you negatively?

Perhaps, b/c the interview occurred near the end of the application cycle, the interviewers I had seemed like they were bored. One was yawning in the middle of the interview. The students didn't seem very euthusiastic about the school when they were doing the tour.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing. The agenda was sent to me ahead of the interview so i know what to expect for the day. I like knowing what is ahead so this is perfect.

What are your general comments?

I feel like one-on-one interviews are more intimate and allows an applicant to fully express themself better than a group interview. The applicant who is last to answer the question may get overshadow by the applicant who gets to answer the question first. For certain questions, there is only that much you can say to impress. Also, during one-on-one interviews, the applicant can bring more personal points and aspects of their background to the interviewer without other interviewees hearing about it as well.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

I would suggest changing the interview format back to one-on-one instead of the group.
