How did you prepare for the interview?

Reviewed my app, SDN feedback.

What impressed you positively?

I liked how the pathways were flexible in that you could request a transfer if you wanted to; cheap tuition is definitely a plus.

What impressed you negatively?

This school is really sloppy. Even the students and admissions staff had a hard time describing the different pathways and how they worked in a concise, coherent manner. Very disappointed. Also, I found it to be a bit unnerving that everything in the building is gray. Carpet, tiles, walls, tables.... everything is gray, save a few paitings on the walls in the main hallways. Also, on our tour, the electricity went out (while students were taking exams) and it was utter chaos. Not sure how I feel about this school now.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That the group interview wouldn't be as bad as I had imagined; it actually flowed pretty well.

What are your general comments?

Even though I was nervous about the group interview format, I know that I did well and had a good time getting to hear everyone else's thoughts. This school just seems a bit unorganized to me and I'm not sure that it's a great fit.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

It would be nice if emails/calls/etc were actually returned. They were very nice on the actual interview day, though.
