How did you prepare for the interview?

I just went over my application. I did not know about thi website or the school's emphasis on ethical questions which would have been helpful.

What impressed you positively?

This school seemed unique and very personable. The students seemed genuinely happy and the staff seemed very supportive. Also, living expenses/rent is very cheap.

What impressed you negatively?

Cold weather (I'm from California) and high cost of tuition.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Albany admissions committee loves to ask ethical questions.

What are your general comments?

This was my first interview as I applied very late in the process, but it ended up being a very positive experience. The staff and interviewers were interesting and friendly and seemed genuinely interested in my opinions and experiences. What I was most impressed with was the students and how happy they seemed here (unlike other schools I visited). Although I decided to stay in a hotel, I found the student welcoming committee meeting the night before to be very informative and helpful. Also, a good tip is to rent a car, it's actually cheaper than taking taxis to and from the airport and less stressful than having to rely on another person.
