That skipping this interview would have been a good thing. I would say that my interview expereince was so negative, that should I get in, I will not attend this school.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

very negative. The comments about this school on the sdn website are very accurate. I'm glad that other people also shared a basically negative exp interviewing at this school. I had high hopes for this school, but having encountered such negative energy here from a variety of persons, I would not attend this school. There is no excuse for the way that their admissions' interviewers relate to students. Also the assistant dean of admissions was unhelpful and curt.
