How did you prepare for the interview?
I practiced typical interview questions and used SDN. I wasted a lot of time preparing for this interview.
What impressed you positively?
The staff and students were upbeat and positive. The people were nice.
What impressed you negatively?
The tour guide seemed clueless. The campus is a building. There were around 60 people being interviewed--that makes you feel like they want you to attend Pacific. NOT!!!
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
Just the fact that they have already decided who will attend and that the interview doesn't mean too much--so don't stess about the interview.
What are your general comments?
I was only in the interview for 5 minutes before I was told we needed to speed things along because they were running behind! Like it was my fault. They already decided who would be admitted before the day, so it was pretty much a waste of my time and money!
