What impressed you positively?

I loved how chill the whole process was. From doing casual ice breakers in the morning, sitting through some presentations, then finishing with interviews. Everyone that I had interacted with were so friendly and welcoming. Absolutely loved both my interviewers and felt like this would be the right school for me!

What impressed you negatively?

NA

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

RELAX!!! You will do amazing!!! If possible, go to the pre-interview mixer with the current students the night before. They really set the stage for how chill and casual this interview will be, and it truly helped me calm my nerves
