How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, school's web site

What impressed you positively?

the amount of care that the faculty and administration show their students

What impressed you negatively?

the long-windedness of the tour guide, the conservative political stances of the current students, Buffalo's bad weather

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That going on the tour would require so much patience

What are your general comments?

Very positive. I came to Buffalo thinking that this would be my last choice, but it no longer is. Despite the crappy weather and the particularly conservative social environment, the professors appear very committed to helping students achieve their career goals. Also they obviously read your file and care about who you are during the interview process.
