✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

8 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

8 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Interview feedback, practice questions, google searches, etc.

What impressed you positively?

The friendliness of the interviewers and the students.

What impressed you negatively?

We did not see many students in active class. And we did not get to see many classrooms to get an idea of a "day in the life" (otherwise we saw EVERYTHING else on our tour).

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I felt very informed about everything..

What are your general comments?

The equipment and facilities of the school were very nice. The interview and student tour were both very positive experiences!

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

I wish the process would occur a little sooner so we could hear an admissions decision more than ten days before our due date to decide. I wish interviews were in early March or February to give us more time to make our decisions.
