How did you prepare for the interview?

What impressed you positively?

Everything. My host was amazing and both my interviewers were really cool.

All the construction going on near Vanderbilt Hall.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I should have been more confident and known more specifically about the New Pathways curriculum. I also wished I had known just how much free time I would have between activities. (First interview: 10:00, second: 4:00)

Everything was great. I was really nervous duing the first interview but eased up enough to really enjoy the second.
