How did you prepare for the interview?

Looked over my file, SDN

What impressed you positively?

How happy everyone is at the school. All the students have nothing but good things to say about it - and they all seem to form a community and work together.

What impressed you negatively?

Absolutely Nothing, even Bard is ok.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That they interview just about everyone who applies... there were 30 people in one day, a little intimidating for me.

What are your general comments?

I absolutely love the school, it is definetly my number one choice. The people are extremely friendly, the students are smart and happy and the facilities are pleasant enough to want to spend four years studying there. There were a lot of people interviewing that day but the interview itself was great - like talking to a friend or relative.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
