What impressed you positively?
The faculty were beyond amazing. Very amiable and treated the interviewees extremely well. Not a single person was unfriendly. The students all looked very happy and were encouraging about the school, which is perhaps the most important thing I took from the interview.
What impressed you negatively?
I was in the second round of interviews, so this was expected: there was a little bit of disorganization. Quite a bit of standing/sitting around waiting for the next step in the process. This wasn't a problem though because the other applicants were great to talk with.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
Nothing. I felt adequately prepared.
