How did you prepare for the interview?

Sdn, my application.

What impressed you positively?

It's cheape than most schools.

What impressed you negatively?

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That they drive students around in a white stretch limo if you have an off campus interview.

What are your general comments?

Good school, ultimately didn't go here because I thought it would limit future options and therefore not provide as full and education as other schools.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

There must be a better way to hand out acceptances instead of waiting until may
