How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN interview feedback. If you are reading this, you need to contribute too!

What impressed you positively?

Friendly staff, friendly students, family-like atmosphere.

What impressed you negatively?

Facilities look old, but its ample so it's not a deal-breaker.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The interview style. 6 applicants enter at 8:30 and perform interviews until 10:00. 6 more applicants enter at 10:00 and have their interviews after lunch.

What are your general comments?

The room they have the applicants chit-chat is way too small. The room is a long rectangle, so to listen to an applicant, you'd have to turn your head in non-ergonomic position.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Presentations look much better with visuals (powerpoint). I would have preferred a table to write on instead of my lap.
