How did you prepare for the interview?

Mock Interviews with family & friends. Used Interviewfeedback.com. Read SDN message boards.

What impressed you positively?

The students were very friendly and outgoing. Staff was helpful. I know BOTH my interviewer read my file, essays and all, from end to end. I did not get that impression at other places I interviewed at. Campus is beautiful.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The interview is not as bad as you think! Actually being around my fellow nervous interviewees made me more nervous than the interview itself. Watch out for the Rolling Hills resort! Check out is at noon and thats it. No late check outs! And if you are late its $75! Either plan for two nights or get out of Dodge!

What are your general comments?

Overall very good. Be prepared to discuss any weakness in your application. What if . . type questions are popular. Fern is a character - she tries to calm people down. They are trying to get to know you. I did not have Dr. Terry as an interviewer.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
