How did you prepare for the interview?

Practiced standard interview questions, read comments, researched the school and its faculty members

What impressed you positively?

Washington, DC.

What impressed you negatively?

The campus, faculty, unenthusiastic students. The administration office was in disarray. There was a lack of file cabinets and files were strewn about on the floor. The room I interviewed in was cramped, stuffy and not at all attractive.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How bad of an area the school was situated. If I had known, I probably would never have considered it.

What are your general comments?

The faculty seemed uninterested and looked outside the window during the interview. She never smiled and made the interview very uncomfortable. The student also never similed and made no effort to be friendly.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
