How did you prepare for the interview?

Website, brochures, etc...same as everybody else.

What impressed you positively?

The students seem to like eachother and are able to go out and have a good time. The night before my interview, a group of students took me out for "Quizzo" at Fergie's and later to McGillan's for several pitchers. It was a lot fun, although I was a bit groggy in the AM.

What impressed you negatively?

It was 20 degrees and snowing the whole time I was there...that's the NorthEast in January. Really can't think of any complaints about the school.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

During lunch several admissions officials come in to talk to while we were eating. I had taken my suit coat off to eat and was worried I looked a little too casual. I didn't think the admissions reps were going to come while we were eating.

What are your general comments?

When I first got there we sat in a big conference room for lunch and numerous speakers which became dull. The student interview was not stressful and then comes the tour. I was fortunate to have an upbeat, energetic tour guide and really enjoyed my tour. The faculty interviewer and I had a good rapport so I rather enjoyed my interview, which was much more like a conversation than interview. Center City is a neat place to live and students & faculty are all friendly. Great interview experience.
