✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

10 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read the questions from SDN, studied Obamacare

What impressed you positively?

The school's faculty members were super nice. The facilities were amazing.

What impressed you negatively?

The exterior of the buildings, particularly the head office, leaves a lot to be desired, looks almost like a back door entrance.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish I was more prepared for the interviewer cutting me off. Rather than trying to plan out your answer ahead of time, I would have just trying to remember a few key words.

What are your general comments?

If you are from out of town, leave your hotel EARLY because New York traffic is just plain nuts.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

I think the admissions office did a great job overall, most of the points that I docked were due to external factors (such as location) which the school cannot control.
