✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

10 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

8 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read SDN, Reread my application and secondary. Talked to a friend who had already interviewed there.

What impressed you positively?

Amazingly friendly and enthusiastic staff. More so than any of the other 4 schools I interviewed at. Staff greeted you at the door, knew your name, seemed incredibly genuine and relaxed.

What impressed you negatively?

The fact that the school is new and has yet to graduate a class. While I understand they quite can't help that, it was just a bit nerve-wracking.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That a community member would be sitting in on my interview alongside the faculty member.

What are your general comments?

Enthusiastic staff, great people and great area. I can't wait to see what this school becomes.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Keep up the amazing work, friendliness, and enthusiasm.
