How did you prepare for the interview?

This website, mock interview. Every question I was asked was listed here in previous feedback or was simple info about my academic background. The only one I wasn't prepared for was the ethics question.

What impressed you positively?

Campus, surrounding location, faculty-staff relationships, weather, admissions staff and interviewers were very friendly and attempted to make me as relaxed as possible.

What impressed you negatively?

The only thing I can think of is that its far from my hometown.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

The only nerve-wrecking part was waiting to be interviewed. All the previous feedback is correct, this is about as relaxed as an interview for school can be. I have no doubt I could attend Samford and be happy with my choice.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
