How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN interview feedback, browsed the school's website, youtube videos and social media.

What impressed you positively?

The way the staff put us at ease in the beginning. They really wanted us to not be nervous and to enjoy the day. They also expressed that they want us to get out there and explore other schools so that if we choose to attend theirs, we know we chose it for the right reasons.

What impressed you negatively?

The main interviewer was straight forward and to the point. It was a little tough in the first few minutes while adjusting to her interview style. At the end, she was much more relaxed.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I can't say I wish I would have looked at anything else or prepared more. I felt very prepared and did well in the interview.

What are your general comments?

This is a fantastic school with a lot of diversity in types of students, backgrounds, ages, etc. They obviously care and listen to their students. It is a big program and you should be able to speak up in order to succeed. Very research oriented with a lot of opportunities, even if you did not do much in undergrad. One of my top choices.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
