✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

9 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

9 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Look through questions on SDN, review my application materials, read about the school, make a list of my own questions.

What impressed you positively?

Everyone at the interview seemed to be very involved in the process--from students to faculty to admissions.

What impressed you negatively?

At the beginning of the interview process, there was a presentation with info about the school, which included information about the next steps after being accepted--I don't think this should have come before the interviews.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Traffic on 85 can be really bad.

What are your general comments?

Overall, not a very stressful process. Small cohort of students for each interview date, starts with a presentation about the school, then a student lead tour, then rotations through a student interview, a faculty interview, and a 'group discussion'/group interview with admissions and more students. Everyone is very friendly!

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

If possible, I would have liked to see Saturday interview dates.
