How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN

What impressed you positively?

Most of the interviewers are nice.

What impressed you negatively?

The students said "it's okay. I only got in here, so I had no other choice." My interviewer tried to convince me away from Wake Forest because "it's expensive." He also had rude mannerisms (rolling his eyes, questioning my reasons for applying there, etc).

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Winston-Salem is not a very exciting town.

What are your general comments?

I had a lot of high hopes for this school. Unless you are really comfortable going to school in a smaller Southern town, I wouldn't put too many high hopes in this school.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
