What was the most interesting question?

Interviewer: "The students asked me to make sure to ask this question in the interview. 'Make sure you ask ___ of the interviewee,' they said. So, I'm asking you. What's the '___' they wanted me to ask? If you guess it right, you only have to answer this question. If you guess wrong, you have to answer your own question AND answer the correct question."

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN interview feedback, website, and listened intently during the presentations (prior to interview).

What impressed you positively?

the students. my student hosts--UNBELIEVABLE. the school's got such nice people. and there's a note taking service for the class-attendence-ly challenged. very nice.

What impressed you negatively?

the school seems...small. and very expensive. and there's no on campus housing.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

that all the hype about the school being supra-conservative is really not true. the school seems fairly open-minded; they are only guaranteeing that conservatism to people who seek it. those who don't are free to do as they please.

What are your general comments?

my student hosts were without a doubt the highlight of my trip. i would recommend ANYONE to stay with hosts. they can provide such great first-hand experience and insight, and mine even helped me figure out what to say in my interviews!

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
