MSAR, SDN, prepared a long list of possible questions with answers, researched the school heavily

Report Response | I was asked this too

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.

Report Response | I was asked this too

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.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing. I felt adequately prepared.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

The interview day at this school bumped the school up in my list of choices. They did a great job of selling the strengths of the school (and there are many). Any concerns I had about the relative youth of the program were gone.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Did a great job of selling the uniqueness of the school. Would have liked more perspective from M3 and M4 students. Most of the interview day was spent with M1 and M2s.
