How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Research on reddit, SDN, school website. Reviewed their social media postings and MSAR page.

What impressed you positively?

It was incredibly laid back, it was more of a conversation instead of an interview. Both interviews went over by 20+ minutes because we were having such fun in our conversations.

What impressed you negatively?

Not much. The cost of attendance is a bummer.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing. The whole process was incredibly laid back, there was proper communication from the committee about interview day, and they responded to every email promptly and with tremendous amounts of information.

What are your general comments?

Phenomenal program. I left the interview day not only more impressed, but it became my number one choice after interview day.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Should interviews continue to be virtual, offering students a small gift card for lunch would be a great way to ease some of the stress of the day.
