What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
So...If I had to choose between you and another student with equal stats, tell me why I should pick you?
What was the most interesting question?
He asked me about all the other schools I applied to and why I would choose NYU over my state school or some of the other NY schools.
How did you prepare for the interview?
SDN interview feedback, watched two of the online videos on NYU website, and asked my friends about their experiences there.
What was the most difficult question?
Overall my interviewer was really laid back and it was so casual. Spent most of the time talking about things we got side tracked on. Really led a good conversation and made me feel comfortable. Gave me feedback when he liked my answers instead of the stone cold face I received at other schools
What impressed you positively?
Dr. Mejia was great! She stayed with us for most of the day which says a lot. Most of the schools the director give a presentation and maybe a farewell and thats all you see of them.
Tour guide was outgoing and made sure to talk when everyone was around and able to hear her not just in the halls when the from few could hear.
Lunch was great!! (although I hadnt had breakfast and wish it would have been a little earlier to break up the day)
What impressed you negatively?
HUGE!! Seems very easy to get lost in the mix there. Due to the large class size, 2 days a week you have class 8-1 and two days a week 2-7.
Small point and not representative of the school but the day ended with lunch and the admissions people werent there and never gave a farewell speech or anything that I was used to hearing along the lines of" I wish you luck in making this big decision and thanks again for making the trip"
