How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

3 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

I did not prepare by studying questions. I just relaxed

What impressed you positively?

Nothing

What impressed you negatively?

Interviewers were not personable.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

It would be difficult to make conversation with the interviewers.

What are your general comments?

I was uncomfortable and anxious throughout the entire interview. There was very little to no conversation made with the interviewers despite my efforts to do so. Interviewers were not personable. An older man who was conducting the interview was shaking his head the entire time and even sighed following one of my responses. I was rudely interrupted by this man when answering a question and was told to answer the question properly. There was another incident where I was interrupted by an outside faculty member who knocked on the door in the middle of my response and proceeded to talk to the man. Following their conversation, I was told to continue with no apologies or explanation as to why I was interrupted. Overall, I unfortunately had a poor interview experience at CDMA. This was far different from my experience at the Downers Grove campus where the environment was a healthy and prosperous one.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

I recommend new faculty members to conduct interviews.
