Mock interviews, read interview feed back on SDN

What impressed you positively?

The amount of time we had with current students. It really gave me a sense for how they all interacted with each other.

What impressed you negatively?

One thing I did notice was that there wasn't as much Focus about numbers for residency placement and board pass rates. The day focused more on everything else that Kent State had to offer.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That the interview was going to be more of a conversation could have lessened the amount of stress I had before interview

What are your general comments?

Interview was very casual and laid back. More of a conversation between admissions and interviewee.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

None. They did very well in setting up and running the interview day. I got a very good sense of campus life and what Kent State has to offer.
