How did you prepare for the interview?

Reading through SDN. going through some interview prep books, going over my GW secondary essay, practiced saying my interview questions, etc

What impressed you positively?

I love that they have a big sis/lil sis program!! Didn't know that before coming here! The facilities are also really nice and I LOVED their simulation center. I LOVE the location of the school as well ugh I'm such a city person so I would love it there.

What impressed you negatively?

Just the financial aid and cost of living in DC of course. Also not very excited about their long class days but that wouldn't be enough to make me not come here.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Hmm..just that I'd hate blind interviews haha, they work for others but I like when the interviewer has my application in front of them and can just ask questions pertaining to my application.

What are your general comments?

Loved the school and the location!!! Not a huge fan of blind interviews at all though. But the interview day was awesome.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Maybe to have the students sit with us during lunch! So we're at eye level with them.
