How did you prepare for the interview?

Read my secondary, looked up some info on Vandy, talked to the students before the interview.

What impressed you positively?

The students are literally giggling with excitement about the place. Their curriculum and electives are awesome, and even though they do not have an entirely pass/fail system, they seem to be on target with how they grade for specific classes.

What impressed you negatively?

Nashville sucked. It rained literally the entire two days I was there. I had to call 5 cab companies to finally get one to pick me up within a decent amount of time. I loved the school, but got a rather bad impression of the city. And I'm not into country music, at all.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Students are on the admissions committee and seem pretty involved in it. I wish I had structured some of my secondary essays a little differently knowing that.

What are your general comments?

This place is worth the cost of applying, traveling, and interviewing. It's really an awesome school where I felt I would be happy and incredibly successful. It's my second choice right now.
