How did you prepare for the interview?

researched the school on it's website, read SDN

What impressed you positively?

the students seemed reasonably happy. the student housing was cheap and decent.

What impressed you negatively?

I didn't feel particularly "taken care of"--had to walk by myself for about 10 minutes to my interview location and then wander around within the facility to find my interviewer. There was no presentation on the school given by the admissions office.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

To pack an extra pair of shoes to wear on my long walk. They told me my interview would be "on-campus" but it was not.

What are your general comments?

I really think my interview day would have benefited from one or two presentations from the admissions office. I knew beforehand that there wouldn't be any, given other peoples' comments, but it really felt lacking. I didn't feel like i learned much more about the school that I hadn't already gathered online.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Give a presentation on the school! Have more interviewers come to campus to do the interviews. If the student must go to another location, designate guides to bring the student there so that they're not left wandering about.
